A PROPHET'S PLEA TO GOD (1829)
O! save us, we pray thee, thou God of Heaven and of earth, from the devouring hands of the white Christians!!!
Oh! thou Alpha and Omega!
The Beginning and the end,
Enthron'd thou art, in Heaven above,
Surrounded by Angels there.
From whence thou seest the miseries
To which we are subject;
The whites have murder'd us, O God!
And kept us ignorant of thee.
Not satisfied with this, my Lord!
They throw us in the seas:
Be pleas'd, we pray, for Jesus' sake,
To save us from their grasp.
We believe that, for thy glory's sake,
Thou wilt deliver us;
But that thou may'st effect these things,
Thy glory must be sought.
