And this our foes themselves confess.
Then onward, onward, onward still,
See how our ranks with Freemen fill!
Soon o’er the world will all men see
Triumphant glorious liberty.
For years have Freemen bravely stood,
And breasted persecution’s flood;
With justice armed, they’ve kept the field,
No threats or flattery made them yield.
Their flag, so fair, still floats in air;
