Hymn 13. C. M.

21

1. Rise, Freemen, rise! the call goes forth,
Attend the high command —
Obedience to the word of God
Throughout this guilty land.

2. Rise, free the slave! oh burst his chains,
And cast his fetters down;
Let virtue be your country's pride,
Her diadem and crown.

3. Then shall the day at length arrive,
When all shall equal be;
And Freedom's banner, waving high,
Proclaim that all are free.
