I am an Abolitionist!  Then urge me not to pause, \r\nFor joyfully do I enlist in Freedom\u2019s sacred cause; \r\nA nobler strife the world never saw, \r\nthe Enslaved to disenthrall; \r\nI am a soldier for the war, whatever may befall.\r\n\r\n3.  I am an Abolitionist!  No threats shall awe my soul; \r\nNo perils cause me to desist, No bribes my acts control; \r\nA freeman will I live and die, In sunshine and in shade, \r\nAnd raise my voice for liberty, Of nought on earth afraid.\r\n\r\nI am an Abolitionist!  I glory in the name; \r\nThough now by slavery\u2019s minions hissed, \r\nAnd covered over with shame; \r\nIt is a spell of light and power, \r\nthe watch-word of the free; \r\nWho spurns it in the trial-hour, A craven soul is he.\r\n\r<\/pre>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;Sung at abolitionist gatherings, this song is a declaration of war on slavery.
