Rock of Ages let our song
Praise Thy saving power;
Thou amidst the raging foes,
Wast our sheltering tower.
Furious they assailed us,
But thine arm availed us,
And Thy word broke their sword
When our own strength failed us.

Children of heroic race
Whether free or fettered
Wake the echoes of the songs
Where e'er you may be scattered.
Yours the message cheering
That the time is nearing
Which will see the whole world free,
Tyrants disappearing.
