Free at Last — Lyrics
Free at last!
I thank God I'm free at last!
I remember the day,
O I remember it well.
My dungeon shook and my chain fell off!
Thank God I'm free at last!
On my knees when the light passed by.

About Free at Last
This arrangement of the well-known spiritual Free at Last for SATB choir opens with the voices in warm, homophonic texture, before blossoming into more independent melodic lines. The text expresses profound relief and joy at deliverance, with imagery of shaken dungeons and falling chains. The music reflects this jubilant release, building to powerful affirmations of freedom. Its direct, heartfelt message and engaging vocal writing make it a potent choice for any occasion where celebration and spiritual uplift are desired.
