Deliverance from on hight
For the oppression of the poor
He rose, and shook the earth:

And led the captiyes forth.
Then swell'd the choral anthem.
Those sunny isles among

With melody was stirred!
Praise TO Thy name, Jehovah

With reverential thought;
We cry to Thee in faith--oh Lord

Break the strong letters of The slave,

proper only for the aged. 1t is as na,nr.

unnatural thing is it that the horse threw

IS most common: but to die with aoa i
an extreme rare thing: and there are
