Freedom (Fretz)

Christ

our glo­ri­ous lead­er

calls to us to­day—

Gird the ar­mor on and to the field away!

Slumber then no long­er

His com­mand ob­ey

And for­ev­er­more be free.

Freedom! free­dom! free in Christ

the Lord!

Freedom! free­dom! trust­ing in His Word!

By His grace and in His strength we win

For His truth and love hath con­quered sin!

Freedom! free­dom! free in Christ

the Lord!

Freedom! free­dom! trust­ing in His Word!

We His faith­ful fol­low­ers will be

And we shall for­ev­er­more be free.

Moving brav­ely on­ward with His truth un­furled

See the hosts of sin be­fore us back­ward hurled;

With our cap­tain we may ov­er­come the world

And for­ev­er­more be free.

Tho’ the bat­tle rag­es

strife will soon be past;

Skies will soon be light

which now are ov­er­cast;

We the vic­tor’s song of joy may sing at last

And for­ev­er­more be free.
