To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
O Lord, how long? Lo, in the dust A Nation worships Thee to-day !
Wilt Thou not hold Thy hand, or must Offended justice still have way?
There is no peace in sin, we know, Our vices make eternal jar ; Dry up the sources of our woe, And end the causes of the War !
196 NATIONAL LYRICS.
Success doth crown the virtuous brave, Who fight for freedom and the laws ; From cowardice and baseness save, And make us worthy of our Cause !
We would not in the market sell Our birthright won by bloody strife, An...d, by a covenant with hell, Bargain away the Nation's life.
Who saves his life, his life shall lose : By base desertion of the right, We cannot cheat eternal dues, And vilely be in Thy despite.
O God ! to shed a brother's blood. And leave upon the hands no stain, Is only for the pure and good, And not the impious and profane.
Who strikes for justice should be just : Teach us to strike, but not in hate ; And not because we would, but must, Thereby to make the action great ! APRIL 30, 1863.
NA TIONAL LYRICS.
