Heroic chiefs! who, fighting by his side,
Liv'd for your country, for your country died—
If ye behold us from the holy place,
“Angels and spirits, ministers of grace,”
And sainted forms, who, erst incarnate strove,
Through thorny paths to reach the bliss above!
Protect our orphan'd land, propitious still,
To virtue guide us and avert from ill!
Liv'd for your country, for your country died—
If ye behold us from the holy place,
“Angels and spirits, ministers of grace,”
And sainted forms, who, erst incarnate strove,
Through thorny paths to reach the bliss above!
Protect our orphan'd land, propitious still,
To virtue guide us and avert from ill!
