[If the wind contrary blows]
If the wind contrary blows,
Let it blow!
If we are oppressed by foes,
Meet the foe!
Let us stand and plead like men;
Our homes and rights defend;
To our fate we'll say, Amen,
E're we go.
Let it blow!
If we are oppressed by foes,
122
Let us stand and plead like men;
Our homes and rights defend;
To our fate we'll say, Amen,
E're we go.
Though the white man still may rule,
Let him rule!
Though they make our race a tool,
Just keep cool.
There's a mighty unseen hand
Working now throughout the land,
Bringing “equal rights to man;”
Through our schools.
Let him rule!
Though they make our race a tool,
Just keep cool.
There's a mighty unseen hand
Working now throughout the land,
Bringing “equal rights to man;”
Through our schools.
