Glorious Freedom!

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!

Freedom from all the carnal affections,

Freedom from envy, hatred, and strife

Freedom from vain and worldly ambitions,

Freedom from all that saddens my life!

Freedom from pride and all sinful follies,

Freedom from love and glitter of gold,

Freedom from evil temper and anger,

Glorious freedom, rapture untold!

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!

GLORIOUS FREEDOM! WONDERFUL FREEDOM!

NO MORE IN CHAINS OF SIN I REPINE,

JESUS, THE GLORIOUS EMANCIPATOR,

NOW AND FOREVER, HE SHALL BE MINE!
