Excerpt9 - I Am a Slave

I am a slave! I have no will, no claim
To property, to time or sleep.
I am a slave, and bear my Owner’s Name!
His ways are mine; with Him I joy or weep.

I am a slave! No tears are spent for ease,
Nor do I freedom crave;
I willing slave am I to follow to the grave
My Master. Bless His Name!
