Captives bound in chains, made free by Christ their surety

may sinners expect any glad tidings? Tell us, oh tell us, what are these tidings that you bring? What are they? Christ a Saviour for lost sinners. Christ a Physician for sick and wounded sinners. Pardon for the guilty sinner. Peace for the troubled sinner; Life to the condemned sinner; Heaven for the Hell-deserving Sinner. These, these are tidings that are brought unto you!
