Jesus! the name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease; 'Tis music in the sinner's ears, 'Tis life, and health, and peace. |

His love my heart has captive made, His captive would I be, For He was bound, and scourged and died, My captive soul to free. |

He breaks the power of canceled sin, He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean; His blood availed for me. |

Glory be to God.

Behold my Lord and Saviour!
He came to set the captive free,
He came to release the prisoner,
He came to loose my tongue, correct my sight and give me a listening hear.
I'll forever praise His Holy name.

He breaks the power of forgiven sins. He sets the prisoner free!
Jesus! The triumphs of your grace. Can I trust your process?
Can I come?
Can I receive your grace so that I can know true freedom?
What love you have for me,
O Captain of my Salvation,
Captain of Suffering,
my Deliverer and my God!
Praise you Lord

White Hall, Arkansas, United States. When I thought of the meaning of "charms my fears," I recalled a use by older people. My grandmother used to speak of a snake charming a bird. During this process the bird became basically too frozen to move. I think of Jesus making our fears frozen stiff with their fear of him. He removes their ability to function. Through charming the snake is able to destroy the bird without resistance, and Jesus is able to disable and destroy our fears--they are helpless to resist him. Then we are calmed but our fears are brought under control. Just thought I would share. If you'd never heard charm used that way, this may give new insight to that wording. I love this song.
