Soldier never fear thee sf5
Th' Eternal God is near thee - .t,.tfs{
Stoutiy bravely bear thee =
- Thy cause is noble-just. t
What though dark clouds may gather s
Fierce an angry Father
Perish, perish rather
Than thy bright sword should rust.
Honor-duty--ca call thee
Let no doubts appal thee
What more can befall thee
Than yielding up thy breath?
When parted lovers meet
How fondly do they greet!
But oh tits far more sweet
To die Patriots death.
Tyrant's tools pursue thee
Their guilty blades would hew thee
But they will neer subdue thee
Is If thou doth a0iU it so.
Brace irm thy sinking soul
If thou would st win the goal
Advance and fercely roll
Destruction on the foe.
A mothers love attend thee
sisters prayers defend thee!
A righteous cause will lend thee
Power to crush him down.
And when thy task is done
When the last Battles
To hail her gallant
A nations joy will crown
Less sweet the infants prattle
Than the clear musket's rattle
And the loud roar of battle
Unto soldiers heart.
His be the prize of beauty
Who best performs his duty
Who strives most free and hearty
10 nobly act his part.
Then forward to the strife
Drive selfish love of life
Away-and clutch the knife sstt.
Thou'st whetted to destroy.
Yea plunge the dagger deep
They too shall learn to weep
The woes that Danish sleep
And poison every joy.
