Turn again our captivity O Lord. Psalms 126:4. Divine answer. The Lord has anointed me to preach good things unto the meek, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are hound. Isaiah 61:1. For thus saith the Lord. I will give thee for a covenant to the people, that thou mayest say to the prisoners, go forth; to them that are in darkness, show yourselves: they shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places, they shall not hunger and thirst. Isaiah 49:8-10. See also Isaiah 35:10.

O Lord, I am hungering after the righteousness and freedom, not only of faith, but of life and holiness also; not to please myself in the latter, but that the evidence of the former may be so much clearer by it to me, and I may be able to rejoice and take the comfort of thy righteousness alone, without deceiving my soul. Grant, therefore, that I maybe truly filled, and may be strong, easy, and free, as not to be kept any longer in any of the most subtle bonds, either of the law, unbelief, and a bad conscience, or of a carnal and worldly mind.

Buried in shadows of the night,
We lie till Christ restores the light;
Wisdom descends to heal the blind,
And chase the darkness of the mind.
Jesus beholds where Satan reigns,
Binding his slaves in heavy chains
He sets the prisoner
s free, and breaks
The iron bondage from our necks.
Poor helpless worms in thee possess
Grace, wisdom, power, and righteousness;
Thou art my mighty all, and we
Give our whole selves, O Lord, to thee.
