Glorious Freedom - Hymn Lyrics & Music

Glorious Freedom - Christian Hymn & Spiritual Song Lyrics with Orchestral backing music. LYRICS: Glorious Freedom(Once I was bound by sin's galling fetters) Author: Haldor Lillenas 1917 Tune: [Once I was bound by sin's galling fetters] Alfred Judson, 1917 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. Refrain: 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. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain] FOR SINGERS: where possible, these recordings are mostly formatted as follows: Centre: Soprano (violin/piccolo/flute/cello), Bass (Acoustic Bass/Contrabass) Right 100% Alto (clarinet), Left 100% Tenor (oboe/tuba/trombone) The lyrics display is formatted like the sort of projection you might see in a church, thus I hope, making them useful in a worship setting, perhaps also for choir practice as most of the arrangements are based on the SATB model.
