Song sung by all at the twentieth anniversary Soiree:
\n\u00a0I AM AN ABOLITIONIST
\n\u00a0By Wm. Lloyd Garrison
\n\u00a0Air – Auld Lang Syne<\/p>\n

I am an Abolitionist
\n\u00a0 I glory in the name;
\nThough now by Slavery’s minions hissed,
\n\u00a0 And covered o’er with shame:
\nIt is a spell of light and power –
\n\u00a0 The watchword of the free;
\nWho spurns it in the trial-hour,
\n\u00a0\u00a0 A craven soul is he!<\/p>\n

I am an Abolitionist!
\n\u00a0 Then urge me not to pause;
\nFor joyfully do I enlist
\n\u00a0 In freedom’s sacred cause:
\nA nobler strife the world ne’er saw,
\n\u00a0 The enslaved to disenthral;
\nI am a soldier for the war,
\n\u00a0\u00a0 Whatever may befall!<\/p>\n

I am an Abolitionist!
\n\u00a0 Oppression’s deadly foe;
\nIn God’s great strength will I resist,
\n\u00a0 And lay the monster low;
\nIn God’s great name do I demand,
\n\u00a0 To all be freedom given,
\nThat peace and joy may fill the land,
\n\u00a0\u00a0 And songs go up to heaven!
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\nI am an Abolitionist!
\n\u00a0 No threats shall awe my soul,
\nNo perils cause me to desist,
\n\u00a0 No bribes my acts control;
\nA freeman will I live and die,
\n\u00a0 In sunshine and in shade,
\nAnd raise my voice for liberty,
\n\u00a0 Of naught on earth afraid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
