Up, awake, we defenders OF Xionl
The foe IS Mt the door of your homes
Let each heart he the heart Of a lion
Unyieding and proud as he roams.
Remember the wrongs of Missouri;
Forget not tho fate Of Nauvoo;
When the God hating foe is before We,
Stand firm, and be faithful and true
by the mountains our Z,ons surrounded;
Her warriors noble and brave,
And their faith ON Jehovah is founded,
Whose power Is mighty to save.
Opposed by proud, bosstng nation,
Their numbers, compared may be few;
But their union Is known through creation,
And they've always been faithful and true.
Shall we bear with oppression forever2
Shall we tamey submit to the foeY
While the ties Of our kindred they sever,
Shall the blood OF the Prophets still fowY
No! the thought sets the heart wildly beating;
Our VOWS at each pulse, we renew,
Ne'er 10 rest till our foes retreatng,
While we remain faithful and true!
Though, assisted by egions Internal,
The piundesing wretches advance,
With a host from the regions eternal,
Wen scatter their hosts Il. glancei
Soon ''the Kingdom will be independent;
In wonder the nations will view
The despsed ones in glory respondent;
Then let us be faithful and true!
