The Freedom of Life — Freedom

"As a Matter of Course," etc. _ _FREEDOM_

_LORD GOD of Israel,-- Where Thou art we are free!

Call out Thy people, Lord, we pray, From Egypt unto Thee.

Open our eyes that we may see Our bondage in the past,-- Oh, help us, Lord, to keep Thy law, And make us free at last!

_ _Lord God of Israel,-- Where Thou art we are free!

Freed from the rule of alien minds, We turn our hearts to Thee.

The alien hand weighs heavily, And heavy is our sin,-- Thy children cry to Thee, O Lord,-- Their God,--to take them in.

_ _Lord God of Israel,-- Where Thou 'art we are free Cast down our idols from on high, That we may worship Thee.

In freedom we will live Thy Love Out from our inmost parts;

Upon our foreheads bind Thy Law,-- Engrave it on our hearts!

_ _Amen.
