BREAK YOUR FETTERS.

By Rosa A. Young

BY ROSA A. YOUNG.
SLAVES, whose service is so thankless, How can you remain In the bondage that enslaves you With an iron chain?
See ye not the bright star beaming, Herald of a glorious day, When the rescued slave recovers Freedom, hope, and liberty?
Death awaits you if you cling To the chains that bind you. When the Master comes, will he Still in bondage find you?
Can you lie still satisfied With sin's guilded pleasure, All its hollow, empty mirth Drink in fullest measure?
Rouse! let all the manhood in you Answer to the call; Strike for liberty and freedom; Let sin's shackles fall.
Forward, let your watchword be, Forward to the prize. March nor falter, ever on Till you gain the skies.
There a radiant crown awaits, And a glorious home, Them who, in the strength of Christ, All their sins o'ercome.
Pitcairn Island.
