Let tyrants shake their iron rod
And slav'ry clang her galling chains
We'll fear them not. We trust in God
New England's God forever rains

Howe and Burgoyne and Clinton, too
With Prescott and Cornwallis join'd
Together plot our overthrow
In one infernal league combined.

When God inspired us for the fight
Their lines were broke, their lines were forc'd
Their ships were shelter'd 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 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
