Freemen

Topics: classic

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!"
