Notes: "These songs are based on Biblican themes, the souces of which are usually indicated, and which are freely developed in the colloquial idiom of our times. The justification of this is not only the universality of Biblical revelation, but above all the special truth and relevance that this revelation has in the context of oppression and the struggle for human rights in every age... These poems are " Freedom Songs" and were written in response to a special request in connection with the Christian non-violent movement for Civil Rights" -- Foreword.
