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.
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!
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.
