God th' all wise, beholding sinners, Said, this people I'll redeem; A Messiah I will send them, Every lost one to reclaim.

Hail the great Emancipation, Millions of earth's bondsmen freed, Come from every clime and station, Who for freedom learn their need.

Hail the great Emancipation, Millions of earth's bondsmen freed, Come from every clime and station, Who for freedom learn their need.

See the Lamb, so pure and spotless, For the fallen intercede; Cruel pain and death enduring, A sin off'ring made complete.

Hail the great Emancipation, Millions of earth's bondsmen freed, Come from every clime and station, Who for freedom learn their need.

High o'er all the world in glory, With the Father now is he; Round the throne celestial armies, Sing him praise eternally.

Hail the great Emancipation, Millions of earth's bondsmen freed, Come from every clime and station, Who for freedom learn their need.
