Once my heart and soul were fettered
By the binding chains of sin.
But the Great Emancipator
Set me free to worship Him.
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Blessed be His holy name!
He’s the Great Emancipator,
That’s the song of the Redeemed!
Like a lost lamb I was drifting
O so helpless and alone,
But the seeking Shepherd found me,
Led me to my Father’s home.
