(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

'Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land，

Taught my benighted¹ soul to understand

That there's a God，that there's a Saviour² too：

Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.

Some view our sable³ race with scornful eye，

"Their colour is a diabolic die."

Remember，Christians，Negros，black as Cain.

May be refin'd，and join th' angelic train.
