By Marion and Celia MossThe Return From the Captivity
A
The days of thy liberties dawn;
The Lord hath relented his wrath,
The night of thy slavery’s gone.
That freedom now smiles upon thee;
’Till the ocean’s loud echoless voice,
Roars back to the valleys we’re free.
In your dwellings let joyfulness be;
Arise! Sons of Israel, arise!
Raise the hymn of thanksgiving,—thou’rt free.
