Hymn 21. S.M.

35

WORDS FROM EMANCIPATOR.

1. How long shall Afric's sons,
Be sons of grief and pain,
How long shall slavery curse the earth,
And mercy plead in vain.

2. Lift up your voice today,
In Freedom's holy cause,
Till all the world in love obey
Their maker's righteous laws.

3. Then in your blissful songs,
Shall bond and free unite.
His praise to spread, to whom belongs
All majesty and might.
