     (Can such love as this be true?)
How he dy'd for them that slew him.
     Died for wretched Yamba too.

Freely he his mercy proffer'd,
     And to Sinners he was sent;
E'en to Massa pardon's offer'd;
     O if Massa would repent!

Wicked deed full many a time
     Sinful Yamba too hath done;
But she wails to God her crime;
     But she trusts his only Son.

O ye slaves whom Massa beat,
     Ye are stained with guilt within
As ye hope for mercy sweet
     So forgive your Massas' Sin
.

And with grief when sinking low,
     Mark the Road that Yamba trod;
Think how all her pain and woe
     Brought the Captive home to God. ",,18726,"Truly disgusting evangelical sentiment: depraved slaves must figure ""massas.""","""O ye slaves whom Massa beat, / Ye are stained with guilt within / As ye hope for mercy sweet / So forgive your Massas' Sin.""","",2011-06-17 19:20:50 UTC,""
