On Slaveryan Eſsay—
18
Now ſhurely let us not repine
And say his wheels are slow
He can fill our hearts with things divine
And give us freedom too.
19
He hath the power all in his hand
And all he doth is right
And if we are tide to the yoke of man
We’ll pray with all might.
20
This the state of thousands now
Who are on the christian shore
Forget the Lord to whom we bow
And think of him no more.
21
When shall we hear the joyfull sound
Echo the christian shore
Each humble voice with songs resound
That slavery is no more.
22
Then shall we rejoice and sing
Loud praises to our God
Come sweet Jesus heavenly king
The art the son Our Lord.
23
We are thy children blessed Lord
Tho still in slavery
We’ll seek thy precepts Love thy word
Untill the day we Die.
24
Come blessed Jesus hear us now
And teach our hearts to pray
And seek the Lord to whom we bow
Before tribunal day.
25
Now glory be unto our God
All praise be justly given
Come seek his precepts love his works
That is the way to Heaven.
