Excerpt from Love of Country: A Discourse, Delivered on Thanksgiving Day, December 12th, 1850, in the Bleecker Street Church These words, taken from one of the most beautiful and touching melodies ever written even under inspiration, are an effusion of religious patriotism. They were prompted by an insult to that sentiment offered to captive Jews by their Oppressors. They that carried us away captive, required us to sing them one of the songs of Zion: How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
