Page:The future of Africa.djvu/8

 Joy to thy savage realms, Africa! A sign is on thee that the great I AM Shall work new wonders in the land of Ham; And while he tarries for the glorious day To bring again his people, there shall be A remnant left from Cushan to the sea. And though the Ethiop cannot change his skin, Or bleach the outward stain, he yet shall roll The darkness off that overshades the soul, And wash away the deeper dyes of sin. Princes, submissive to the Gospel sway, Shall come from Egypt; and the Morian's land In holy transport stretch to God its hand: Joy to thy savage realms, Africa!" —
