80. Free at Last

Free at last, free at last,
Thank God a'mighty I'm free at last.

1 Surely been 'buked and surely been scorned,
Thank God a'mighty, I'm free at last.
But still my soul is a heaven born,
Thank God a'mighty, I'm free at last.

2 If you don't know that I been redeemed,
Thank God a'mighty, I'm free at last.
Just follow me down to Jordan's stream,
Thank God a'mighty, I'm free at last.

Free at last, free at last,
Thank God a'mighty I'm free at last.
