'God of Peace! before Thee
Peaceful here we kneel,
Humbly to implore Thee
For a nation's weal.
Calm her sons' dissensions,
Bid their discord cease,
End their mad contentions--
Hear us, God of Peace!'
( Spirit of the Nation .)
'Hurrah! 'tis done--our freedom's won--hurrah for the Volunteers!
By arms we've got the rights we sought through long and wretched years.
