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.

Stanzas on Freedom

Author: James Russell Lowell Hymnal: TTT-Himnaro Cigneta #529 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? 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? 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! 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. They are slaves who dare not be in the right with two or three. Languages: English Tune Title: MENDELSSOHN
