Hallelujah, I am Free

Author: I. N. McHose Hymnal: Gospel Herald in Song #119 (1899) First Line: Steeped in sin and degradation Refrain First Line: Glory, glory hallelujah Lyrics: 1 Steeped in sin and degradation, For my heart hath gone astray; But I heard a sweet voice saying, “Wand’ring child, come home today.” Refrain: Glory, glory hallelujah, I am saved, redeemed and free; Glory, glory hallelujah, Christ has spoken peace to me. 2 In the dark alone I wandered, With no hand to guide my way, When an arm of mighty power, Lead me into brightest day. [Refrain] 3 I will tell to all around me, That salvation’s full and free, That His boundless love and mercy, Reaches even down to me. [Refrain] 4 Help me praise my precious Savior, For His wondrous grace to me; Praise Him, angels, and redeemed ones, Praise the Lord eternally. [Refrain] Topics: Comfort - Comforter; Confession Scripture: John 8:32 Languages: English Tune Title: [Steeped in sin and degradation]
