<p>Rock of Ages, let our song<br>
Praise Thy saving power;<br>
Thou, amidst the raging foes,<br>
Wast our sheltering tower.<br>
Furious they assailed us,<br>
But Thine arm availed us,<br>
And Thy Word<br>
Broke their sword<br>
When our own strength failed us.</p>
<p>Kindling new the holy lamps,<br>
Priests, approved in suffering,<br>
Purified the nation&#8217;s shrine,<br>
Brought to God their offering.<br>
And His courts surrounding<br>
Hear, in joy abounding,<br>
Happy throngs,<br>
Singing songs<br>
With a mighty sounding.</p>
<p>Children of the martyr race,<br>
Whether free or fettered,<br>
Wake the echoes of the songs<br>
Where ye may be scattered.<br>
Yours the message cheering<br>
That the time is nearing<br>
Which will see<br>
All men free,<br>
Tyrants disappearing.</p>
