He Set Me Free

Church Hymnal #235

1 Once like a bird in prison I dwelt,
No freedom from my sorrow I felt;
But Jesus came and listened to me
And glory to God he set me free.

Chorus
He set me free, He set me free.
He broke the bonds of prison for me;
I'm glory bound, my Jesus to see
For glory to God He set me free.

2 Now I am climbing higher each day,
Darkness of night has drifted away;
My feet are planted on higher ground,
And glory to God I'm homeward bound.

3 Good bye to sin and things that confound,
Naught of this world shall turn me around;
Daily I'm working, I'm praying too,
And glory to God I'm going thru.

Albert E. Brumley (1939)
