Has been thy defender, and vanquished thy foes;
And heaven stood by thee to help thee in trouble,
And joyed when the sound of thy triumph arose.
3 High was the anthem those raptures revealing,
Ten thousand celestials the chorus prolong;
But louder the strains of the ransomed are pealing,
And glory is swelling the conqueror’s song.
