 Glory to God forever!— Beyond the despot's will The soul of Freedom liveth Imperishable still. The words which thou has uttered Are of that soul a part, And the good seed thou hast scattered Is springing from the heart. In the evil days before us, And the trials yet to come— In the shadow of the prison, Or the cruel martyrdom— We will think of thee, O Brother! And thy sainted name shall be In the blessing of the captive, And the anthem of the free.
