Liberty Hymn.

LlOUlCJ Ill Hill
BYA. G. ALLEN, Esq.
Let US unite our voices,
In soft and gentle strains,
For our degraded brothers
And sisters now in chains,
That Jesus our Redeemer
Here in our midst may be,
And bless our feeble efforts
To set the captive free.
o Lord direct us daily,
Inspire our minds with zeal,
And let our hearts be ready
Another's grief to feel;
And when we hear the wailing
Of bondmen in their grief,
May we, like thee, be ready
To give them kind relief.
Awake ye church and statesmen,
And join in Freedoms cry;
Ye slaves, refrain from weeping,
Deliverence now is nigh;
For freedoms light is breaking,
The dawn will soon appear;
Expressions strength is waning,
And freedoms reign is near,
Such truth and light resistless
Does from the gospel beam;
It thunders from the pulpit,
And statesmen learn the theme:
Then, weeping slave, take courage,
For God remembers thee
When Christian friends united
Devoutly pray for thee.
In that eventtul morning
When freedoms blssful reign
Shall from this guilty nation
Wipe slavery's dreadful stain,
And all enjoy their freedom,
How happy shall we be,
To join again our voices
In that blessed jubilee.
