I’ve been o victim
The Belgians cut off my hands
in the Congo
They lynched me in Texas.
— Langston Hughes
At the feet o’ Jesus,
Sorrow like a sea.
Lordy, let yo’ mercy
Come driftin’ down on me.
At the feet o’ Jesus
At yo’ feet I stand.
O, ma little Jesus,
Please reach out yo’ hand.
—Langston Hughes
Better to die free,
Than to live like slaves.
