8 Sing, beside the weathered stones,

That protect your Martyrs’ bones,

Patriots’ blood and Exiles’ groans

Britain’s sons made free!

Thunder’s roll and lightning’s glare

Guard the Wand’rers’ plaeeplace [sic] of prayer;

Lions crouehingcrouching [sic] in their lair,

Keep their revelry;

Fitful floats the plaintive psalm;

Pastors’ pleadings, bold or calm,

Kindle zeal, or pour your balm,

Truth and Liberty!

Traitors Age and Youth deride,

Bound to stakes on Bladnoeh'sBladnoch’s [sic] side,

Till the rush of Solway’s tide

Chokes their psalmody.

Godly Brown, thy prayer restrains

Rude Dragoons, who sport with pains;

Claver’se spatters with thy brains

Wife and family !

Terror seized the Tyrant’s erewcrew [sic];

Scotland waved her Banner blue;

Orange boldly round it threw

Holland’s chivalry.

SeotsScots [sic], revere your Fathers’ deeds;

Bible-training Freedom breeds;

Martyrs’ blood foments your seeds,

Truth and Liberty!

FINIS.
