Text Appearing Before Image:
deceived;By Thee my inmost soul is clear perceived.As objects gross are through transparentskiesBy mortal ken. Thy mercj exercise,Lest slander foul exult oer innocenceaggrieved. But if tis fixed by the decree divine, That I must bear the pain of guilt and shame.And that my foes this cold and senselessframeShall rudely treat with scorn and shoutsmalign;Give Thou the word, and I my breath resign.Obedient to Thy will; blest be Thy holyname. Hymn to Liberty. 0 Liberty! I wait for thee To break this chain and dungeon bar; 1 hear thy spirit calling meDeep in the frozen north, afar, With voice like Gods, and visage like astar. Long cradled by the mountain wind.Thy mates, the eagle and the storm, Arise! and from thy brow unbindThe wreath that gives its starry formAnd smite the strength that would thygrace deform. Yes, Liberty! thy dawning light. Obscured by dungeon bars, shall cast Its splendor on the breaking night,And tyrants, fleeing pale and fast.Shall tremble at thy gaze and standaghast.
