¶Lyrics / Text

Let tyrants shake their iron rod, And slavery clank her galling chains, We fear them not! we trust in God! New England's God forever reigns. Howe and Burgoyne and Clinton too, With Prescott and Cornwallis joined, Together plot our overthrow, In one infernal league combined. When God inspired us for the fight, Their ranks were broke, their lines were forced, Their ships were shattered in our sight, Or swiftly driven from our coast. The foe comes on with haughty stride; Our troops advance with martial noise, Their veterans flee before our youth, And generals yield to beardless boys. What grateful offering shall we bring? What shall we render to the Lord? Loud Hallelujahs let us sing, And praise his name on every chord.
