[86]
O Lord, we'd lead the van,
E'er in behalf of man,
When held in thrall;
Be with us in the fight,
Now in the cause of right;
Cursed be the Slaver's might,--
God save us all!
O Lord, we fain would pray,
Thy grace forever may
Direct this war;
And where our flag's unfurled,
Be Freedom's gauntlet hurled,
Bid Justice rule the world
For evermore.1
