Ye heralds of freedom, ye noble and brave, <br />Who dare to insist on the rights of the slave, <br />Go onward, go onward, your cause is of God, <br />And he will soon sever the oppressor's strong rod. <br /> <br />The finger of slander may now at you point, <br />That finger will soon lose the strength of its joint; <br />And those who now plead for the rights of the slave, <br />Will soon be acknowledged the good and the brave. <br /> <br />Though thrones and dominions, and kingdoms and powers, <br />May now all oppose you, the victory is yours; <br />The banner of Jesus will soon be unfurled, <br />And he will give freedom and peace to the world. <br /> <br />Go under his standard and fight by his side, <br />O'er mountains and billows you'll then safely ride; <br />His gracious protection will be to you given, <br />And bright crowns of glory he'll give you in heaven.<br /><br />Anonymous Americas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ye-heralds-of-freedom/
