Original lyrics
ENOnce 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
