Freemen

Let no man stand between my God and me!
I claim a Free man’s right
Of intercourse direct with Him,
Who gave me Freedom with the air and light.
God made me free.—
Let no man stand between
Me and my liberty!
 
We need no priest to tell us God is Love.—
Have we not eyes to see,
And minds to apprehend, and hearts
That leap responsive to His Charity?
God’s gifts are free.—
Let no man stand between
Us and His liberty!
 
We need no priest to point a way to heaven.—
God’s heaven is here,—is there,—
Man’s birthright, with the light and air,—
“God is His own and best interpreter.”
His ways are free.—
Let no man stand between
Us and His liberty!
 
Let no man strive to rob us of this right!
For this, from age to age,
Our fathers did a mighty warfare wage,
And, by God’s help, we’ll keep our heritage!
God says—"Be Free!”
And we,—
“NO MAN SHALL STAND BETWEEN
OUR SONS AND LIBERTY!”
