Thy songs were made for the pure and free;
They never shall sound in slav’ry.”
LXXXVI.—ARMY HYMN.
O. W. HOLMES.
1. O Lord of Hosts! Almighty King!
Behold the sacrifice we bring!
To every arm thy strength impart,
Thy Spirit shed through every heart.
2. Wake in our breasts the living fires,
The holy faith, that warmed our sires;
