'Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land, br Taught my benighted soul to understand br That there's a God, that there's a Saviour too: br Once I redemption neither sought nor knew. br Some view our sable race with scornful eye, br "Their colour is a diabolic die." br Remember, Christians, Negro's, black as Cain, br May be refin'd, and join th' angelic train.
