Out Wonder underneath the bright crown

Ties fought because they loved our land,
they fell to make Us free,
They hold in Heaven this night the Truths
divine that never die;
The same grand Truths that glorified our
war flag when, unturled,
They bore it on from height to height
against our ancient foe,
What time their yalor Yivified throughout
'Ie bue-ringed world
Airesh the awful host of men by tyrants
trampIed low;
Tie Truths our Sires with battle-fire bap-

When THEY rebelled against the wrong

When THEY with bare, uplifted blades upon
their affairs swore
By Father, Son and Holy Ghost this good
