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