Confident By My Chains

Here rest I, unbound unchanged,
Yet Iron hold these limbs still fast,
Health of heart, my body lame,
By grace I be him unsurpassed,

Think it not an ominous bane,
When lions roar but find thee not,
Joy of woe and thy fathers name,
A blessed truth to soon forgot,

Here dwell I, glad bearer of shame,
Facade of life, pass me not by,
Love me joy and strike me pain,
If ever I lived tis a grace to die,

So long as only Christ sustains,
I am confidant by my chains!
