106 BIOGRAPHY AND            Thus our bleeding patriots bought Precious Liberty.

When thy banner waves abroad, All may freely worship God, Fearless of the tyrant's rod— Sacred Liberty.

Never, never cease to wave O'er the ashes of the brave; Shield, O shield the patriot's grave— Flag of Liberty.

Should oppression boldly dare From thy brow the wreath to tear, Righteous vengeance shall not spare The foes of Liberty.

Sooner than to bondage yield, Bravely in the battle field, Let the sons of freemen wield The sword for Liberty.

God, who moved our worthy sires, When they kindled Freedom's fires, Zion's noble sons inspires To cherish Liberty.

Here, with godlike grasp and bold, We the Constitution hold, Pure as when it's sacred fold Sheltered Liberty.

Freedom, Justice, Truth and Peace, Shall throughout these vales increase; Shout, O shout, till time shall cease, Truth and Liberty!

Here, amid the mountain sky, Freedom's banner waves on high; Let the heaven-born echo fly— GOD AND LIBERTY!
