Slavery chain done broke at last

Slavery chain done broke at last
Broke at last, broke at last
Slavery chain done broke at last
Going to praise God till I die
1 Way up in that valley
Praying on my knees
Telling God about my troubles
And to help me if He please
2 I did tell Him how I suffer
In the dungeon and the chain
And the days I went with head bowed down
And my broken flesh and pain (but brethren)
3 I did know my Jesus heard me
’Cause the Spirit spoke to me
And said : "Rise my child, my children
And you too shall be free"
4 I done pint one mighty captain
For to marshall all my hosts
And to bring my beedings ones to me
And not one shall be lost
5 Now no more weary traveling
’Cause my Jesus set me free
And there’s no more auction block for me
Since He gave me liberty
