For God and Liberty

By Golden-West Scot

Scots, for whom brave Wallace bled! Scots, whose sires — true freemen bred — Freedom's van ofttimes have led On to victory! Scots abroad, as Scots "at hame," Scots by birth, in blood and name, To you I send the cross aflame, For God and liberty!

Not to mail-clad ranks I call, Sword and pike, or gun and ball; Yet it is to stand or fall, Whereso'er ye be. Use your vote, or tongue, or pen. We shall win; but until then, Come what may, O, stand like men, Strong and loyally!

Papal Rome, as was foretold, On the world regains her hold; Step by step, becomes more bold In her policy. When her deadly wound is healed, All the world to her will yield — All but those whom God has sealed For the world to be.

Former comrades, who have known Truth in part, now faithless grown, Cease their protest, and disown Christ, who makes men free; Court the church whose iron hand Naught but faith could e'er withstand; Raise her image in the land, By the State's decree.

Let us not receive her mark! Tho our way be rough and dark, We are safe, if in God's ark, As they soon shall see. For our cause is truth and right, 'Gainst the foe's foul lies and blight; And just past one short, black night, Breaks eternity.

Why should we expect to gain Earth made new, avoiding pain, And from war's dread shocks and strain Fleeing cowardly, When our martyred millions fell, Suffering more than tongue can tell, Braving all the hosts of hell, And their cruelty?

Bow to none but Heaven's throne, Every man a living stone; Angels help, tho seen alone, Fighting faithfully. And the war will soon be o'er; History ends! 'tis time no more! Jesus comes — is at the door! Therefore "do or dee."
