(D)Once I was bound by (A)sin’s galling (D)fetters,
Chained like a slave, I (E)struggled in (A)vain;
But I re(D)ceived a (A)glorious (D)freedom,
(G)When Jesus (D)broke my (A)fetters in (D)twain.
Chorus(D)Glorious freedom, wonderful (G)freedom,
(D)No more in chains of (E)sin I re(A)pine!
Jesus the (D)glorious (A)Emancipator,
(G)Now and forever (A)He shall be (D)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.
