¶Lyrics / Text

Sing the dear Saviour’s glorious fame, Who bears the Breaker’s wondrous name: Sweet name! and it becomes him well, Who breaks down sin, guilt, death and hell. A mighty Breaker sure is he, He broke my chains, and set me free; A gracious Breaker to my soul; He breaks, and O! he makes me whole. He breaks through every gloomy cloud, Which can my soul with darkness shroud; He breaks the bars of every snare,* Which hellish foes for me prepare. He breaks the gates of hardened brass, To bring his faithful word to pass; And though with ponderous iron barred, The Breaker’s love they can’t retard. Great Breaker! O thy love impart, Daily to break my stony heart; O break it, Lord, and enter in; And break, O break the power of sin! Break out and shine upon my soul; One look from thee will make me whole; Break through my foes to my relief, And break, O break my unbelief. Break down my self-sufficient pride, And let me at thy feet abide; And there adore thee, mighty Lord, Who never, never breaks thy word. By thee I’ll break through every foe, And joyful on my way I’ll go; By thee I’ll break death’s cold embrace, And mount to heaven, and see thy face. There has my King passed on before, And there forever I’ll adore; And in eternity I’ll raise My song to this great Breaker’s praise *He breaks through every crafty snare,
