310. 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 mighty Redeemer!
Now and forever Jesus is 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. [Chorus]

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! [Chorus]

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. [Refrain]
