Let tyrants shake their iron rods, And slav'ry clank her galling chains. We fear not, we trust in God, New England's God forever reigns. Howe and Burgoyne and Clinton, too, With Prescott and Cornwallis joined, Together plot our overthrow, In one infernal league combined. 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 let us sing, And praise His name on ev'ry chord!
