AT TELL'S CHAPEL.
When chains are rent, God's work is done,
And God's avenged in Freedom won!
To Man that God his image gave,
'Tis wronged—'tis outraged in a slave.
Therefore it was a righteous deed,
And worthiest of their Christian creed,
To raise upon the simplest sod
Where William Tell had fought or trod
A holy altar unto God!
And God's avenged in Freedom won!
To Man that God his image gave,
'Tis wronged—'tis outraged in a slave.
Therefore it was a righteous deed,
And worthiest of their Christian creed,
To raise upon the simplest sod
Where William Tell had fought or trod
A holy altar unto God!
