Jupiter Hammon

“ Lord unto whom now shall we go,
⁠Or seek a safe Abode;
Thou haft the Word Salvation too
⁠The only Son of God.
Ho! every one that hunger hath,
⁠Or pineth after me,
Salvation be thy leading Staff,
⁠To set the Sinner free. ”

“ PENETENTIAL CRIES:
Composed by Jupiter Hammon, a Negro belonging to Mr Lloyd, of Queen's-Village, on Long-Island, the 25th of December, 1760.
SALVATION comes by Jesus Christ alone,
⁠The only Son of God ”
