Ah know ye not in Israel	A
A prince is fallen to day	B
A just man from the ills to come	C
In mercy called away	B
	-
The Church is clothed in mourning	D
Who shall supply her loss	E
A standard bearer's quit the field	F
A soldier of the cross	E
	-
On mission high and holy	G
He braved the watery main	H
And many a faithful heart rejoiced	I
To welcome him again	J
	-
Thrice had the veteran warrior	K
Nobly forsaken all	L
And trod our western wilderness	M
Obedient to His call	L
	-
Whose voice he knew from childhood	N
And followed where it led	O
For perfect love reigned over him	P
And banished fear and dread	O
	-
Meekly he journeyed onward	Q
Unmoved by praise or blame	R
The mark was always kept in view	S
And steady was his aim	R
	-
Unfaltering trust in Jesus	M
Had ever nerved his arm	T
He knew His shield of love was near	U
Protecting him from harm	T
	-
Like Paul he went from house to house	V
And boldly preached the word	Q
And many souls accepting it	W
Were gathered to the Lord	X
	-
While from his heart and from his lips	Y
As onward he would pass	Z
Fell gentle benedictions	Z
As showers upon the grass	Z
	-
Nor from the galling chains of sin	A2
Alone he sought to free	G
However named the bondsman claimed	B2
His whole souled sympathy	G
	-
Bending beneath a weight of care	C2
A pilgrimage of years	Z
Before the rulers of the land	D2
Behold him plead with tears	Z
	-
For poor down trodden Africa	E2
He lifts his latest breath	F2
And with her name upon his lips	Z
Sinks in the arms of death	F2
	-
Thoughts of the distant and the loved	G2
Came thronging to his heart	H2
He felt 'twere sweet to be with them	I2
Yet sweeter to depart	H2
	-
Better to go and be with Christ	J2
Were the blest words he said	O
Then in the midst of bonds and chains	Z
The enfranchised spirit fled	O
	-
And in a far off stranger land	D2
Near Holston's billowy wave	K2
A voice is calling silently	G
From that lone martyr's grave	K2
	-
Oppressor list its meaning	D
It is to thee it calls	Z
Ah heed the solemn warning voice	Z
Before the judgment falls	Z
	-
It tells thee that a martyr's prayers	Z
Are heard in highest Heaven	L2
That soon the shackles of the slave	K2
In mercy shall be riven	L2
	-
God will avenge his own elect	M2
Who are groaning to be free	G
His promises are sure He will	N2
Avenge them speedily	G
	-
But where will be the oppressor	K
In that soul searching day	B
When perfect truth and equity	G
Have undivided sway	B
	-
Quailing before the majesty	G
Of the Omniscient One	L2
Dealers in slaves and souls of men	J
Will feel their work is done	L2
	-
And bowed beneath that word of God	O2
Which pierces like a sword	X
Call on the rocks to hide them	I2
From the presence of the Lord	X
	-
But Mercy's voice is whispering	D
Immanuel died to save	K2
And he designs rich fruit shall spring	D
From that lone martyr's grave	K2
