GLORIOUS FREEDOM
1. Once I was bound by sin’s galling
fetters,
Chained like a slave I struggled in
vain;
But I received a glorious freedom,
When Jesus broke my fetters in
twain.
Chorus:
Glorious freedom, wonderful
freedom,
No more in chains of sin I repine!
Jesus the glorious Emancipator,
Now and forever He shall be mine.
2. Freedom from all the carnal
affections,
Freedom from envy, hatred and
strife;
Freedom from vain and worldly
ambitions,
Freedom from all that saddened my
life.
3. Freedom from pride and all sinful
follies,
Freedom from love and glitter of
gold;
Freedom from evil temper and
anger,
Glorious freedom, rapture untold.
4. Freedom from fear with all of its
torments,
Freedom from care with all of its
pain;
Freedom in Christ my blessed
Redeemer,
He who has rent my fetters in twain.
