CHARITY.

Love is shining, all combining,
On this dark benighted ball,
Sin-concealing, Hope-revealing,
Error totters to his fall.
All-adorning, comsth mornink,
Harbinger of joy and peace;
Holy sages, brighter ages,
Sure will bring the Slaves release.
Youth and beauty, mingling duty,
Shall proclaim the Jubilee;
Gently rising, knaves surprising,
All adorned with Charity.
From their sleeping, Tyrants, weeping,
Wake to meet their awful doom;
Some are shying, others trying,
To avoid the dreaded Tomb.
Mirth and laughter no hereafter,
Mingles with the oppression dire;
Priests are sleeping, mercy's weeping,
Deaf as adders, to Messiah.
Truth disdaining, Despots reigning,
Rtyht must suffer in the raid
Msrcy sighted, Love benightea,
Friendship trembling, sore afraid.
Under-mining-all-combining,
To extend tn accursed crime;
Lands enslaying, blood is paving,
Frec'st borders OF this cline,
Do you fear them, when you hear them,
Mingling oaths Of hellish ire?
Onward pressing, inward guessing,
To dominion they'll aspire.
Lasting ever, Love shall sever
All their aims at high renown;
Aid is lending what is tending
TO dispirit king and crown;
Slaves are mining, light is shining,
And the L6ld will bring release;
Wake from sleeping, cease from weeping,
All the Garth shall bask in peace.
No more dreaming, Mercy's beaming,
Nan, behold the newborn day;
Pleasant morning, hills adorning,
FAITH is chasing night away.
Sight is cheering, freedoms nearing,
Hear the sound on every boueh;
Fatal warning, lessons, scorning,
lie. the Master take the plow.
Crazy, weary, surly, dreary,
Threat'ning vengeance on the True,
Pistols charging, hate en.arging,
Bowie knives to cut them through.
Master standing at the landing,
Guarding well his chattle slave,
Ev'ry feature of the creature
Marks him coward fore the brave.
On sc praying, never staying,
Gird your armor firmly on;
Helm ct, shielding, sword a-wielding,
Carnal weapons now are done
Labor doing, still pursuing,
Let your feet be shod with Peace;
Chsins ere breaking, man is waking,
Perseverance brings release.
While I'm speaking, earth is seeking,
With the gore Of many slain;
Mortals dying, widows crying,
Many orphans mourn in pain:
But unyissding, Trnth i welding
Weapons such as God can give;
Thus uprising, man surprising,
Bondage Die and Freedom Lice.
