Independence Day!
Let Tyrants Shake Their Iron Rod (Chester)
by William Billing
- Let tyrants shake their iron rod,
- And Slav'ry clank her galling chains,
- We fear them not, we trust in God,
- New England's God forever reigns.
- Howe and Burgoyne and Clinton too,
- With Prescot and Cornwallis join'd,
- Together plot our Overthrow,
- In one Infernal league combin'd.
- When God inspir'd us for the fight,
- Their ranks were broke, their lines were forc'd,
- Their ships were Shatter'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 Gen'rals yield to beardless Boys.
- What grateful Off'ring shall we bring?
- What shall we render to the Lord?
- Loud Halleluiahs let us Sing,
- And praise his name on ev'ry Chord.
