Homoj, kies fierec': Strofoj pri la libereco
Author: James Russell Lowell Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Human Rights First Line: Homoj, kies fierec' estas pri la liberec' Lyrics: 1. Homoj * kies fierec' estas pri la liberec',
Se sklav' sur la ter' de Di' spiras - ĉu liberas vi?
Se ne vibras via koro kun la frato en doloro
Vi ja vivas en sklavec' sen la rajt' al liberec'.
Vi ja vivas en sklavec' sen la rajt' al liberec'.
2. Ĉu libera estas li kiu rompas nur por si
La katenojn, kies kor' metas devon el memor'?
Portu ni kun nia frato liajn ĉenojn pro kompato;
Portu ni per vort' kaj far' liberecon al homar'.
Portu ni per vort' kaj far' liberecon al homar'.
3. Hom' libera pro kompat' ĉiam estas advokat'
De l' falint' kaj malfortul', sed sklav' estas timemul'
Kiu pro la mondkolero ne parolas por la vero;
Sklavo ĉar ne staras li por justec' kun du aŭ tri.
Sklavo ĉar ne staras li por justec' kun du aŭ tri. Used With Tune: MENDELSSOHN Text Sources: Unitarian Society of Madison, WI, USA; Anonymous Esperanto translation, 1954 or earlier

A Hymn of Human Rights
Author: Fred Kaan Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Justice and Human Rights First Line: For the healing of the nations Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
Lord, we pray with one accord;
For a just and equal sharing
Of the things that earth affords.
To a life of love in action
Help us rise and pledge our word.
To a life of love in action
Help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us, Father, into freedom,
From despair your world release;
That redeemed from war and hatred
Men may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
Fear will die and hope increase.
Show us how through care and goodness
Fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
Let it from the earth be banned;
Pride of status, race, or schooling,
Dogmas keeping man from man.
In our common quest for justice
May we hallow life's brief span.
In our common quest for justice
May we hallow life's brief span.
4 You, Creator God, have written
Your great name on all mankind;
For our growing in your likeness
Bring the life of Christ to mind;
That by our response and service
Earth its destiny may find.
That by our response and service
Earth its destiny may find. Scripture: Amos 5:24 Used With Tune: KONG-EUI
A Hymn of Human Rights
Stanzas on Freedom
Author: James Russell Lowell Appears in 61 hymnals Topics: Human Rights First Line: Men! whose boast it is that ye Lyrics: 1. Men! whose boast it is that ye come of fathers brave and free,
If there breathe on earth a slave, are ye truly free and brave?
If ye do not feel the chain, when it works a brother's pain,
Are ye not base slaves indeed, slaves unworthy to be freed?
2, Women! who shall one day bear, sons to breathe New England air,
If ye hear, without a blush, deeds to make the roused blood rush
Like red lava through your veins, for your sisters now in chains —
Answer! are ye fit to be mothers of the brave and free?
3. Is true Freedom but to break fetters for our own dear sake,
And, with leathern hearts, forget that we owe mankind a debt?
No! true Freedom is to share all the chains our brothers wear,
And, with heart and hand, to be earnest to make others free!
4. They are slaves who fear to speak for the fallen and the weak;
They are slaves who will not choose hatred, scoffing, and abuse,
Rather than in silence shrink from the truth they needs must think;
They are slaves who dare not be in the right with two or three. Used With Tune: SALZBURG Text Sources: A Left-Labour Website
