John Greenleaf Whittier - The Jubilee Singers
Work rating: Low

VOICE of a people suffering long,
The pathos of their mournful song,
The sorrow of their night of wrong!
Their cry like that which Israel gave,
A prayer for one to guide and save,
Like Moses by the Red Sea`s wave!
The Stern accord her timbrel lent
To Miriam`s note of triumph sent
O`er Egypt`s sunken armament!
The tramp that startled camp and town,
And shook the walls of slavery down,
The spectral march of old John Brown!
The storm that swept through battle-days,
The triumph after long delays,
The bondmen giving God the praise!
Voice of a ransomed race, sing on
Till Freedom`s every right is won,
And slavery`s every wrong undone!
