"The Campus Echo" TO ME All their days were hard and deary, All their nights vwre long and weary. Yes, as they tilled their masters soil And as they slept in great turmoil; Gee, they did till, oh, numerous fields But, to their masters it did yield. Now. its this way,, now you see •>.it does appear to me. Still their lives were horrid and bold, Y'lhen seeing their own dear flesh sold. And seeing their child from them departed. Would never kno^ where it had started; Yes, all this they did undergo. Merely so our days might overflow, Now its this way, now you see Yes, as it does appear to me. But, ch how they did often pray. Yes grandad to me would often say, And pray that even you and me Just live to become men of free, Now all their prayers God did answer, No, not even one did he cancel. Now its this way, now you see Yes, as it does appear to me. Now its this way, now you see. Yes, God has set all us free, So that we may enjoy earthly things, Then join them in Heaven and there sing, To honor him who broke the crust, And paved the way for all of us. So let’s all join in hand and hand Sing Glory to God, Praises to man. 'j. ? James T, Hawkins. 13
