This hymn has a unique tune.

 
 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.

 

Glorious freedom, wonderful freedom,

No more in chains of sin I repine!

Jesus the glorious Emancipator,

Now and forever He shall be 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.

 

Glorious freedom, wonderful freedom,

No more in chains of sin I repine!

Jesus the glorious Emancipator,

Now and forever He shall be mine.

 
 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.

 

Glorious freedom, wonderful freedom,

No more in chains of sin I repine!

Jesus the glorious Emancipator,

Now and forever He shall be mine.

 
 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.

 

Glorious freedom, wonderful freedom,

No more in chains of sin I repine!

Jesus the glorious Emancipator,

Now and forever He shall be mine.
