56. the army of Liberty.

by Rev. J. G. Forman.

tune--“I am glad I'm in this Army.”

I.
     Come rally for our country,
For God is on our side;
     Come rally for our country,
For God is on our side.
     He will aid the cause of Freedom,
He will aid the cause of Freedom,
     For which our fathers died.
chorus.--I am glad I'm in this army,
     I am glad I'm in this army,
I am glad I'm in this army,
     For God is on our side;
He will aid the cause of Freedom,
     He will aid the cause of Freedom,
For which our fathers died.

II.
     In the war of Independence
The battle was begun;
     In the war of Independence
The battle was begun.
     In the glorious name of Freedom,
In the glorious name of Freedom,
     The victory was won.
I am glad I'm in this army, &c.

III.
     In the conflict with treason
The battle ne'er give o'er;
     In the conflict with treason
The battle ne'er give o'er;
     For the right will ever triumph;
For the right will ever triumph,
     And reign forever more.
I am glad I'm in this army, &c.

IV.
     Come join our glorious army,
The victors we shall stand;
     Come join our glorious army,
The victors we shall stand,
     Shouting liberty forever,
Shouting liberty forever,
     Throughout our happy land.
I am glad I'm in this army, &c.,
     For the victors we shall stand,
Shouting liberty, forever, &c.
