Almighty ! hear the prayer I pour For yon opprest and suffering land On which the storms so darkly lower , Where now those injured millions stand . They are not slaves ! Oh God , tho' death And famine rage , they are not slaves ; Still , still they draw unfetter'd breath , And walk as freemen to their graves !
The sword is there—but not for right ; I see it gleam a ghastly hue—I see the dark unhallow'd fight Which blends the guilty with the true : I see the patriot meet his fate , Involv ed amidst the ruffian ' s doom ; The spirit of despair and hate , Which tracks its victims to the tomb .
A martyr d land ! Oh God ! look down And mark the deeds thy children do . In blood and tears that seed is sown Which future , age shall bring to view . Man hath no mercy , and in fear Now do they cower beneath our rod , But retribution will be near , Thou art their refuge—Thou , oh God !
