First Line: Thy restless feet now cannot go
Last Line: It gives tho' bound, tho' bound 'tis free!
Subject(s): Crucifixion; Jesus Christ - Crucifixion


THY restless feet now cannot go
For us and our eternal good,
As they were ever wont. What though
They swim, alas! in their own flood?

Thy hands to give Thou canst not lift,
Yet will Thy hand still giving be;
It gives, but O, itself's the gift!
It gives tho' bound, tho' bound 'tis free!
