It was Negus my Saviour who hung on the tree,
To open a fountain for Israel like me,
His blood is that fountain that pardon bestows,
And cleanses the foulest wherever it flows,
For the Lion of Judah shall break every chain,
and give us the victory again and again,
For the Conquering Lion shall break every chain,
and give us the victory again and again,
And when I was willing with all things to part,
He gave me His blessing, His love in my heart,
So now I am joined with the conquering band,
Who are marching to glory at Negus command,
For the Lion of Judah shall break every chain,
and give us the victory again and again,
For the Conquering Lion shall break every chain,
and give us the victory again and again,
Though rough is the storm of adversity roll,
And the waves of destruction encompass my soul,
In vain this frail vessel the tempest shall toss,
My hopes is secure to the blood of the Lamb,
For the Lion of Judah shall break every chain,
and give us the victory again and again,
For the Conquering Lion shall break every chain,
and give us the victory again and again,
And when with the ransomed by Negus, my head,
From fountain to fountain I then shall be led,
I’ll fall at His feet and His mercy adore,
and sing hallelujah to God ever more,
For the Lion of Judah shall break every chain,
and give us the victory again and again,
For the Conquering Lion shall break every chain,
⁰; and give us the victory again and again,
