Ho thou who seekest late and long	A
A License from the Holy Book	B
For brutal lust and fiendish wrong	A
Man of the Pulpit look	B
Lift up those cold and atheist eyes	C
This ripe fruit of thy teaching see	D
And tell us how to heaven will rise	C
The incense of this sacrifice	E
This blossom of the gallows tree	D
Search out for slavery's hour of need	F
Some fitting text of sacred writ	G
Give heaven the credit of deed	F
Which shames the nether pit	G
Kneel smooth blasphemer unto Him	H
Whose truth is on thy lips a lie	I
Ask that His bright winged cherubim	H
May bend around that scaffold grim	H
To guard and bless and sanctify	I
O champion of the people's cause	J
Suspend thy loud and vain rebuke	K
Of foreign wrong and Old World's laws	L
Man of the Senate look	B
Was this the promise of the free	D
The great hope of our early time	H
That slavery's poison vine should be	D
Upborne by Freedom's prayer nursed tree	D
O'erclustered with such fruits of crime	H
Send out the summons East and West	M
And South and North let all be there	N
Where he who pitied the oppressed	M
Swings out in sun and air	N
Let not a Democratic hand	O
The grisly hangman's task refuse	P
There let each loyal patriot stand	O
Awaiting slavery's command	O
To twist the rope and draw the noose	Q
But vain is irony unmeet	O
Its cold rebuke for deeds which start	O
In fiery and indignant beat	O
The pulses of the heart	O
Leave studied wit and guarded phrase	R
For those who think but do not feel	S
Let men speak out in words which raise	R
Where'er they fall an answering blaze	R
Like flints which strike the fire from steel	S
Still let a mousing priesthood ply	I
Their garbled text and gloss of sin	T
And make the lettered scroll deny	I
Its living soul within	T
Still let the place fed titled knave	U
Plead robbery's right with purchased lips	V
And tell us that our fathers gave	U
For Freedom's pedestal a slave	U
The frieze and moulding chains and whips	V
But ye who own that Higher Law	W
Whose tablets in the heart are set	O
Speak out in words of power and awe	X
That God is living yet	O
Breathe forth once more those tones sublime	H
Which thrilled the burdened prophet's lyre	Y
And in a dark and evil time	H
Smote down on Israel's fast of crime	H
And gift of blood a rain of fire	Z
Oh not for us the graceful lay	A2
To whose soft measures lightly move	B2
The footsteps of the faun and fay	A2
O'er locked by mirth and love	C2
But such a stern and startling strain	D2
As Britain's hunted bards flung down	E2
From Snowden to the conquered plain	D2
Where harshly clanked the Saxon chain	D2
On trampled field and smoking town	E2
By Liberty's dishonored name	H
By man's lost hope and failing trust	O
By words and deeds which bow with shame	H
Our foreheads to the dust	O
By the exulting strangers' sneer	F2
Borne to us from the Old World's thrones	V
And by their victims' grief who hear	G2
In sunless mines and dungeons drear	G2
How Freedom's land her faith disowns	V
Speak out in acts The time for words	V
Has passed and deeds suffice alone	H2
In vain against the clang of swords	V
The wailing pipe is blown	H2
Act act in God's name while ye may	A2
Smite from the church her leprous limb	H
Throw open to the light of day	A2
The bondman's cell and break away	A2
The chains the state has bound on him	H
Ho every true and living soul	I2
To Freedom's perilled altar bear	G2
The Freeman's and the Christian's whole	I2
Tongue pen and vote and prayer	G2
One last great battle for the right	O
One short sharp struggle to be free	G2
To do is to succeed our fight	O
Is waged in Heaven's approving sight	O
The smile of God is Victory	G2
