He Is Thy Brother
GO, break the chains that bind the slave;
Go, set the captive free;
For Slavery’s banners ne’er should wave,
And slaves should never be.
Yet not in anger. Hasty words
Should not to thee belong,
They will not loose a single link,
But bind them yet more strong.
O, while ye think to him in chains
A brother’s rights are due,
Remember him who binds those chains!
He is thy brother, too!
