4 When the lips are cold, that sing Thee,
And the hearts that love Thee, dust,
Father, then our souls shall bring Thee
Holier love and firmer trust.

Anti-Slavery Meeting.

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 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!

3 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.

Te Deum.

1 O GOD, we praise thee, and confess

That thou the only Lord

And everlasting Father art,
By all the earth adored.

3 O holy, holy, holy Lord,

Whom heavenly hosts obey,
The world is with the glory filled
Of thy majestic sway!

4 The apostles' glorious company,
And prophets crowned with light,
