Men! whose boast it is, that ye

Author: Lowell Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #799 (1873) Lyrics: Men! whose boast it is, that ye Come of fathers brave and free, If there breathe on earth a slave, Are ye truly free and brave? If ye do not feel the chain, When it works a brother's pain, Are ye not base slaves, indeed-- Slaves unworthy to be freed? 2 Is true freedom but to break Fetters for our own dear sake, And with leathern hearts forget That we owe mankind a debt? No! true freedom is to share All the chains our brothers wear, And with heart and hand to be Earnest to make others free! 3 They are slaves, who fear to speak For the fallen and the weak; They are slaves, who will not choose Hatred, scoffing, and abuse, Rather than in silence shrink From the truth they needs must think; They are slaves, who dare not be In the right with two or three.
