On Slaveryan Eſsay—
9
We come as sinners unto thee
We know thou hast the word
Come bleſsed Jesus make us free
And bring us to our God.
10
Although we are in Slavery
We will pray unto our God
He hath mercy beyond the sky
Tis in his holy word.
11
Come unto me ye humble souls
Although you live in strife
I keep alive and save the soul
And give eternal life.
12
To all that do repent of sin
Be they bond or free
I am their saviour and their king
They must come unto me.
13
Hear the words now of the Lord
The call is loud and certain
We must be judged by his word
Without respect of person.
14
Come let us seek his precepts now
And love his holy word
With humble soul we’ll surely bow
And wait the great reward.
15
Although we came from Africa
We look unto our God
To help our hearts to sigh and pray
And Love his holy word.
16
Although we are in slavery
Bound by the yoke of Man
We must always have a single eye
And do the best we can.
17
Come let us join with humble voice
Now on the christian shore
If we will have our only choice
Tis slavery no more.
