Lyrics:

Let tyrants shake their iron rod 
And slavery clang her galling chains; 
We'll fear them not. We trust in God; 
New England's God forever rains. 
The foe comes on with haughty stride, 
Our troops advance with martial noise. 
Their veterans flee before our youth 
And generals yield to beardless boys. 

What grateful offerings shall we bring, 
What shall we render to the Lord? 
Loud hallelujahs let us sing 
And praise his name on every chord
