FREEDOM'S CAUSE.
Our cause is just and holy—
To it we'll ever stand:
Our right to life and liberty—
Is all that we demand.
Our sword is truth—our shield is love—
Our breast-plate faith and prayer—
Our armour is the fear of God,
And we the foe will dare;
Our cause is just and holy,
To it we'll ever stand.

Our sword is truth—our shield is love—
Our breast-plate faith and prayer—
Our armour is the fear of God,
And we the foe will dare;
Our cause is just and holy,
To it we'll ever stand.
Our cause is just and holy;
And backed by power divine;
To trust in God's own sacred word
Our hearts are well inclined,
And it shall be our pride and boast
To sink the Gospel truth.
Into the hearts of all our foes—
The aged and the youth,
Our cause is just and holy,
To it we'll ever stand.
And backed by power divine;
To trust in God's own sacred word
Our hearts are well inclined,
And it shall be our pride and boast
To sink the Gospel truth.
Into the hearts of all our foes—
The aged and the youth,
Our cause is just and holy,
To it we'll ever stand.

Our cause is just and holy—
Our country's good at stake:
We wish to pull down Tyranny,
And laws of justice make;
And this we fancy not to do
By shedding human blood;
Our veins shall never drain to make
A mighty crimson flood.

Our cause is just and holy—
We feel it in our veins;
For Jesus came all men to save
From misery, sin and chains.
His blood ran free on Calvary
For every human soul.
From Palestine to Africa—
It saves from pole to pole,
Our cause is just and holy,
To it we'll ever stand.

Our cause is just and holy,
And we are not ashamed
To sing it on the Mountain tops,
And sound it o'er the main,
That we are friends of Liberty
That attribute of love—
As God created all men free,
We freedom's cause will move.

Our cause is just and holy
For it we'll ever pray,
Although we may not see the good
We do till judgment day.
We'll plead our cause where e'er we go;
Till all mankind shall see;
And Slavery's friends shall feel and own
That God made all men free.
