For the few hours of life allotted me, give me, great God, but bread and liberty. I'll beg no more. If more Thou'rt pleased to grant, I'll thankfully that overplus receive. If beyond this no more be freely sent, I'll thank for this and go away content. For the few hours of life allotted me, give me great God but bread and li-berty, give me great God but bread and liberty. I'll beg no more, no more. If more Thou'rt pleased to grant, I'll thankfully that overplus receive.
