My favorite Hymn..it makes me cry..

**Long my imprisoned spirit lay, Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;**

total depravity

Thine eye diffused a quickening ray— I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;**

regeneration, a total act of God

My chains fell off, my heart was free,

the will no longer bound now saved

I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
My chains fell off, my heart was free,

Our response to the grace and mercy of God

I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

Regeneration and then salvation the correct order of election:>)

It's probably my favorite hymn, too, Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise comes a distant second.
