The Divine Source of Liberty

The Divine Source of Liberty – SAMUEL ADAMS
1/4/2013 0 Comments

All temporal power is of God,

And the magistratal, His institution, laud,

To but advance creaturely happiness aubaud:

Let us then affirm the Source of Liberty.
Ever agreeable to the nature and will,

Of the Supreme and Guardian of all yet still

Employed for our rights and freedom’s thrill:

Thus proves the only Source of Liberty.
Though our civil joy is surely expressed

Through hearth, and home, and church manifest,

Yet this too shall be a nation’s true test:

To acknowledge the divine Source of Liberty. 
— Samuel Adams
