Hymn 57 GLORIOUS FREEDOM Lyrics

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 camal 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
