The spirits of your fathers
Shall hover o'er each plain, Where in their injured country's cause The immortal brave were slain! Where bold Montgomery fearless fell, Where carnage strew'd the field, In your might shall you fight, And force the foe to yield; And on the heights of Abraham Your country's vengeance wield. Columbia fears no enemy That ploughs the briny main; Her home a mighty continent, Its soil her rich domain! To avenge our much-loved country's wrongs, To the field her sons shall fly, While alarms sound to arms, We'll conquer or we'll die. When Britain's tears may flow in vain, As low her legions lie! Columbia's eagle standard Triumphant then shall tower, Till from the land the foe depart, Driven by its gallant power. Then, then, ye patriot warriors! Our song and feast shall flow, And no more, on our shore, Shall war's dread tempests blow; |
