From the city of the Lord |
Then the light of victory
Shall illumine Judea's word
And new liberty shall shine
On the plains of Palestine.
Then the Turk shall mady view,
How his crescent wakes dim,
Like the waning moon who's hue
Fades away on oceans brim-
Then the cross Of Christ shall stand
On that consecrated land.
Yes-the light Of freedom smiles
On the Grecian Phalanx now.
Breaks upon Ioua's isles.
And on Ida $ lofty brow
And the shouts Of battle swell
Where the Spartan Lion fell.
Where tie Spartan Lion fell,
Proud and dauntless in the strife,
How triumphant was his kneIl,
How sublime his close of life
= Glory shone upon his eye,
Glory which can never die.
Soon shall ear h awake in might
Retribution shall arise,
S. And all regions shall mite
To obtain the glorious prize
And IMPRESSIONS iron crown |!
