Cântăre I Am from Sin Set Free

Let worldly minds the world pursue,

It has no charms for me;

Once I admired its trifles, too,

But grace hath set me free.



R: Free! free! free!

I am from sin set free!

This world has now no charms for me,

For Christ hath set me free.



Its pleasures can no longer please,

Nor happiness afford;

Far from my heart be joys like these,

Now, I have seen the Lord.



As by the light of op’ning day,

The stars are all concealed;

So earthly pleasures fade away,

When Jesus is revealed.



Creatures no more divide my choice,

I bid them all depart;

His name, His love, His gracious voice,

Have fixed my roving heart.
