WORDS FROM FREEDOM'S LYRE.

1. Soon shall the trump of Freedom,
Resound from shore to shore;
Soon, taught by heavenly wisdom,
Man shall oppress no more;

But ev'ry yoke be broken,
Each captive soul set free,
And every heart shall welcome
The day of Jubilee.

2. Then tyrants' crowns and sceptres,
And victors' wreaths and cars;
And galling chains and fetters,
With all the pomp of wars.
Shall in the dust be trodden,
Till time shall be no more;
And peace and joy from heaven
The Lord on earth shall pour.
