[97]
The foe must be silenced for ever,
Though millions in battle may bleed.
Chorus: With “God and our Right!” etc.
Strong arms and a conquerless spirit
We bring as our glory and guard;
If courage a triumph can merit,
Then Freedom shall be our reward.
Chorus: With “God and our Right!” etc.
Beneath the high sanction of Heaven,
We'll fight as our forefathers fought;
Then pray that to us may be given
Such guerdon as fell to their lot.
Chorus: With “God and our Right!” etc.
