ALL THINGS SPEAK.
Hark! Hark!! A voice! A voice is loudly
sounding--
Free the slave--Free the slave!
Sweet freedom's voice--O'er hill and dale re-
sounding--
Free the slave--Free the slave!
All nature shrinks the lash to hear--
The crimson dye--the groans and tears
All speak in accents loud and clear
Free the slave--Free the slave!
Slack! slack your hands! ye tyrants cease
your folly;
Free the slave--free the slave!
Your brother's blood cries to the Lord Most holy
Free the slave--free the slave!
Your land is smitten with disgrace--
Your laws are rigid vile and base,
And conscience speaks from every breast
Free the slave--free the slave!
Call back those hounds! O! let their beys no
longer
Grieve the slave--grieve the slave!
Let not your horns in dismal tones thunder
Grieve the slave--grieve the slave!
Your fetters break--your bondman free;
And let the song of "Liberty"
Re-echo o'er the land and sea;
Free the slave--free the slave!
Behold your banner gently, gently floating
O'er the slave--o'er the slave!
Your Eagle spreads his golden wings exulting
O'er the slave--o'er the slave!
Three million slaves are in his grasp,
And millions more he longs to clasp
But God forbid his power shall last.
Free the slave--free the slave!
Heralds go forth. And may success attend you.
Free the slave--free the slave!
And may the God of Righteousness defend you.
Free the slave--free the slave!
Put on your Armor--make it bright,
And draw the bow with holy might
And speed the arrows in their flight.
Free the slave! Free the slave!
