No. 6.
Children, we all shall be Free.
Children, we all shall be free,
Children, we all shall be free,
Children, we all shall be free,
When the Lord shall appear.[1]
1. We want no cowards in our band,
That from their colors fly,
We call for valiant-hearted men,
That are not afraid to die.
Cho.—Children, we all shall be free, &c.
2. We see the pilgrim as he lies,
With glory in his soul;
To Heaven he lifts his longing eyes,
And bids this world adieu.
Cho.—Children, we all shall be free, &c.
3. Give ease to the sick, give sight to the blind,
Enable the cripple to walk;
He'll raise the dead from under the earth,
And give them permission to fly.
Cho.—Children, we all shall be free, &c.
