Lyrics

Vengeance, O come inspire me!

Virtue and freedom fire me!

Join me, ye sons of glory.

The foe shall fly before ye,

And fame record your story,

In never dying lays.

The peaceful dove shall soar on high,

The Danish raven droop and die,

And every loyal heart shall vie

To merit Alfred’s praise.

James Thomson (1834-1882)
