Fling Out The Anti Slavery Flag

Fling out the Anti-slavery flag

On every swelling breeze;

And let its folds wave o'er the land,

And o'er the raging seas,

Till all beneath the standard sheet,

With new allegiance bow;

And pledge themselves to onward bear

The emblem of their vow.

Fling out the Anti-Slavery flag,

And let it onward wave

Till it shall float o'er every clime,

And liberate the slave;

Till, like a meteor flashing far,

It bursts with glorious light,

And with its Heaven-born rays dispels

The gloom of sorrow's night.

Fling out the Anti-Slavery flag,

And let it not be furled,

Till like a planet of the skies,

It sweeps around the world.

And when each poor degraded slave,

Is gathered near and far;

O, fix it on the azure arch,

As hope's eternal star.

Fling out the Anti-Slavery flag,

Forever let it be

The emblem to a holy cause,

The banner of the free.

And never from its guardian height,

Let it by man be driven,

But let it float forever there,

Beneath the smiles of heaven.
