William Billings, about 1777
|
Let tyrants shake their iron rod And slav'ry clank her galling chains We fear them not; we trust in God New England's God forever reigns.
2. Howe and Burgoyne and Clinton, too, |
3. When God inspired us for the fight Their ranks were broke; their lines were forced Their ships were shattered in our sight Or swiftly driven from our shore.
4. The foe comes on with haughty stride |
|
5. What grateful off'ring shall we bring, What shall we render to the Lord? Loud hallelujahs let us sing, And praise his name on ev'ry chord! |
