344 GLORIOUS FREEDOM (D)

---

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.

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

Chorus

Glorious freedom, wonderful freedom, No more in chains of sin I repine! Jesus the glorious Emancipator, Now and forever He shall be mine.

Freedom from pride and all sinful follies, Freedom from love and glitter of gold; Freedom from evil, temper, and anger, Glorious freedom, rapture untold

Chorus

Glorious freedom, wonderful freedom, No more in chains of sin I repine! Jesus the glorious Emancipator, Now and forever He shall be mine.

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.

Chorus

Glorious freedom, wonderful freedom, No more in chains of sin I repine! Jesus the glorious Emancipator, Now and forever He shall be mine.
