¶Lyrics / Text

Fling wide the gate! come out! Dauntless and true. Brothers, of heart be stout, We are but few. Bring from the battlements Our flag again. Tho' by the leaguer rent, It hath no stain. Mothers and wives to prayer, From morn till eve. The Lord of Hosts will care For all we leave, Plead that we sought not fight, Nor chose the field. But ev'ry free heart's right We dare not yield. Who needs the trumpet blown To make him bold? Who speaks in undertone Of ransom gold? Let such his counsel hide In vault or cave, We have no time to chide A willing slave. Mothers and wives to prayer, Relief is nigh, For you each arm will dare Deeds not to die, For sure as fire doth blaze, Or foams the sea, You shall tonight upraise Songs of the Free!
