|
<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’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>
