Jupiter Hammon

“ And say his wheels are slow
He can fill our hearts with things divine
And give us freedom too.
19
He hath the power all in his hand
And all he doth is right
And if we are tide to the yoke of man
We’ll pray with all might. ”

“ Although we came from Africa
We look unto our God
To help our hearts to sigh and pray
And Love his holy word.
16
Although we are in slavery
Bound by the yoke of Man
We must always have a single eye
And do the best we can. ”
