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 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; Glorious freedom (cascate) Wonderful freedom No more in chains of sin I repine Jesus, the glorious emancipator Now and forever He shall be mine
