The darkness of the night is past,
This is the Day of Victory. For this our fathers strove, In stern and fiery love-- That men to come should be Born into liberty-- That all should be--as we are--Free! Free men of God, gird up your loins, And brace you for the final fight! Strike home, strike home for Truth and Right! --Yet bear yourselves as in His sight! For this our fathers fought, This with their lives they bought-- That you and I should be Heirs of their liberty-- That all should be--as we are--Free! Free men we are and so will be; We claim free access unto Him, Who widened all the bounds of life, And us from bondage did redeem. Let no man intervene, Or draw a vail between Us and our God, for He Would have His people free,-- And we would be--as Thou art--Free. Free men of God, your Birthright claim! Our fathers won it with a price. |
