William Billings/ William Billings 1778
Let tyrants shake their iron rod
And slav'ry clank her galling chains;
We fear them not; we trust in God-
New-England's God forever reigns.
Howe and Burgoyne and Clinton too
With Prescot and Cornwallis join’d
Together plot our overthrow,
In one infernal league combin’d.
When God inspired us for the fight,
Their ranks were broke, their lines were forced.
Their ships were shattered in our sight,
Or swiftly driven from our coast.
The foe comes on with haughty stride,
Our troops advance with martial noise;
Their vet'rans flee before our youth,
And gen'rals yield to beardless boys.
What grateful off'ring shall we bring?
What shall we render to the Lord?
Loud Hallelujahs le...

Ezra Carter/Jeremiah Ingalls 1805 Join, join in tuneful c to praise our God most high, At whose command earth rose, and worlds above the sky. His sov’reign word gave nature birth, And form’d all things in heav’n and earth. He call’d our fathers forth to leave their native land, And in this western clime rear’d freedom’s happy band. When we were weak, his goodness gave A Washington our land to s...

Jezaniah Sumner/Jezaniah Sumner 1798 The morning sun shines from the east, and spreads his glories to the west. All nations with his beams are blest, where'er his radiant light appears. So Science spreads her lucid ray o'er lands which long in darkness lay; She visits fair Columbia and sets her sons among the stars. Fair Freedom, her attendant, waits, to bless the portals of her gates, To crown...

IW Crane/Stephen Jenks 1800 No more beneath th'oppressive hand of tyranny we groan, Behold, a smiling happy land that Freedom calls her own. Come, celebrate with songs and praise the day which makes us free; Let harmony her notes upraise to sing our jubliee. All hail the blest auspicious day, and every heart agree, To praise, and joyous honors pay to this our jubilee.

10 Heroism

Nathaniel Niles/Supply Belcher 1794 Why should vain mortals tremble at the sight of death and destruction in the field of battle, Where blood and carnage clothe the ground in crimson, sounding with death-groans? Death will invade us by the means appointed, and we must all bow to the king of terrors; Nor am I anxious, if I am preparèd, what shape he comes in. Then to the wisdom of my Lord and Ma...

William Billings/ William Billings 1781 By the rivers of Watertown we sat down and wept. We wept when we remembered thee, O Boston. Lord God of heaven, preserve them, defend them, Deliver and restore them unto us again. Forbid it, Lord God forbid that those who have suckled Bostonian breasts Should thirst for American blood. A voice was heard in Roxbury which echoed through the continent Weepin...

Nathaniel Nlles/Andrew Law 1781 Why should vain mortals tremble at the sight of death and destruction in the field of battle, Where blood and carnage clothe the ground in crimson, sounding with death-groans? Death will invade us by the means appointed, and we must all bow to the king of terrors; Nor am I anxious, if I am preparèd, what shape he comes in. Infinite goodness teaches us submission,...

Isaac Watts/ Daniel Read 1786 My spirit looks to God alone; my rock and refuge is his throne. In all my fears and all my straits, my soul on his salvation waits. In all your ways; pour out your hearts before his face. When helpers fail and foes invade, God is our all-sufficient aid. False are the men of high degree; the baser sort are vanity; Laid in the balance, both appear light as a puff of ...

Isaac Watts/William Holden 1793 The Lord Jehovah reigns, and royal state maintains, His head with awful glories crowned; Arrayed in robes of light, begirt with sov’reign might, And rays of majesty around. Upheld by thy commands, the world securely stands, And skies and stars obey thy word. Thy throne was fix’d on high before the starry sky; Eternal is your kingdom, Lord. In vain the noisy crowd...
