3 They are slaves, who fear to speak For the fallen and the weak; They are slaves, who will not choose Hatred, scoffing, and abuse, Rather than, in silence, shrink From the truth they needs must think; They are slaves, who dare not be In the right with two or three. 438. L. M. Caroline Sewall. Remember Them Who Are in Bonds. 1 Lord, when Thine ancient people cried, Oppressed and bound by Egypt's king, Thou didst Arabia's sea divide, And forth Thy fainting Israel bring. 2 Lo, in these latter days, our land Groans with the anguish of the slave: Lord God of hosts! stretch forth Thy hand, Not shortened that it cannot save. 3 Roll back the swelling tide of sin, The lust of gain, the lust of power; The day of freedom usher in: How long delays the appointed hour? 4 As Thou of old to Miriam's hand The thrilling timbrel didst restore, And to the joyful song her land Echoed from desert to the shore; 5 O let Thy smitten ones again Take up the chorus of the free,-- Praise ye the Lord! His power proclaim, For He hath conquered gloriously! 439. 8, 7, & 4s. M. *Montgomery. Slavery. 1 Ages, ages have departed, Since the first dark vessel bore Afric's children, broken-hearted, To this far-off western shore; She, like Rachel, Weeping, for they were no more. 2 Millions, millions have been slaughtered In the fight and on the deep; Millions, millions more have watered, With such tears as captives weep, Fields of labor Where their wasted bodies sleep. 3 Mercy, mercy, vainly pleading, Rends her garments, smites her breast, Till a voice from heaven proceeding Gladden all the waiting west: "Come, ye weary! Come, and I will give you rest!" 4 Tidings, tidings of salvation! Brothers, rise with one accord, Purge the plague-spot from our nation, Till, unto their rights restored, Slaves no longer, All are freemen in the Lord! 440. P. M. *Montgomery. Watch for the Morning. 1 Climb we the mountain afar, In the still hour of even; Led by yon beautiful star, First of the daughters of heaven: Darkness yet covers the face of the deep; Spirit of freedom! go forth in thy might, Break the slave's bondage like infancy's sleep, The moment when God shall say, Let there be light!
