Once I was bound by sin's galling fetters

- 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. ......
