A Response to "The Bay states Apology."1
BE true, o free America
Shrink not from Gods command
To carry freedoms banner
To oriental land.
Heed not the timid voices
That would thy flag restrain,
From rising like beacon
Beyond the We stern main;
To guide benighted peoples
Passing from night to day,
In ignorance OF the meaning
OF Gods appointed way.
God give thee grace aud wisdom
Thy mission to fulfil;
And blessed be the outcome,
And well done be His will.
BE true, o free America
Forget not Gods command,
To give to every creature
The blessed, helpful hand.
And, IL thy hands rejected
Through ignorance and fear,
Have patience with the wretched,
Until Gods voice they hear.
So shall thy blessed freedom
Prove fruitful In its kind;
And give the world "A token
That may all nations bind.
In peace that comes from needing
The will of the Divine;
In obedience to his leading,
And according to his time.
Be true, o free Amerlca
Thy wards shall bless the hand
That planted freedoms banner
In their downtrodden land.
