Once in sin I served, a slave, in pain, by sin tormented

Once in sin I served, a slave, in pain, by sin tormented;
Sin once held me captive, bound me, reigned as lord o'er me;
Struggling vainly to escape, sad groans and sighs I vented,
Unaware that Jesus had set me free.

How deep the grace that reached me!
From sin's tyranny I'm freed!
I'm drinking living water,
Salvation's bounteous feast;
Praise God! What riches! Oh, what sweetness!
Oh, what joy and praises spring!
Oh, Hallelujah! Deep grace reached me!
How deep the grace that reached me!
From sin's tyranny I'm freed!
I'm drinking living water,
Salvation's bounteous feast;
Praise God! What riches! Oh, what sweetness!
Oh, what joy and praises spring!
Oh, Hallelujah! Deep grace reached me!

Great hymn that runs with same tune as 'Dwelling In Beaulah Land'. So strongly worded. Please, can we have all the stanzas? God bless you richly!
