179b. Sweet liberty

1 Sweet Liberty! Thou soothing sound,
Blest freedom from above;
That breaks my chains, and heals each wound,
And swells the tide of love.

2 Freedom! the fairest flower that blows,
The brightest gem on earth;
This freedom Jesus Christ bestows,
Star of our second birth.

3 Ardent my thanks to him I pay,
For grace so rich, so free;
This star precedes eternal day;
Oh! may it shine on me.
