Hurrah for the land we love!
Hurrah for the laws we keep!
Our Banner we’ve nailed above,
And our Faith is anchored deep!
Let the trembling knave betray,
Let the paltry changeling fly;
There will come an answering day,
For our Cause can never die.
CHORUS.
Then, hurrah for the land we love,
And hurrah for the laws we keep!
Our Banner is nailed above,
And our Faith is anchored deep!
A lesson the traitors teach,
And a lesson the cowards give,
’Tis easy the Right to preach,
But ’tis harder the Right to live!
We laugh at the weak-kneed crew
Who shiver on Faction’s shore;
But with Brothers yet firm and true,
We’ll meet Disunion’s roar.
Then hurrah, etc.
