(William Billings)
Let tyrants shake their iron
rod
And slav'ry clang her galling chains;
We'll fear them not. We trust in God;
New
England's God forever rains.
Howe and Burgoyne and Clinton, too
With Prescott and
Cornwallis join'd,
Together plot our overthrow,
In one infernal league
combined.
When God inspired us for the fight
Their lines were broke, their lines
were forc'd,
Their ships were shelter'd in our sight
Or swiftly driven from our
coast.
The foe comes on with haughty stride,
Our troops advance with martial
noise.
Their vet'rans flee before our youth
And generals yield to beardless
boys.
What grateful offerings shall we bring,
What shall we render to the
Lord?
Loud hallelujahs let us sing
And praise his name on every chord.
Note:
After Yankee Doodle, probably the most popular song among
the American troops during the
revolution.
