Verse 4:
Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature's light.
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray,
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light.
My chains fell off, my heart was free;
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

No condemnation now I dread:
Jesus and all in Him is mine!
Alive in Him, my living head,
And clothed in righteousness divine.
Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown through Christ my own.
Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown through Christ my own.
