The Days are Done

1. 1Thy days are done, thy fame begun;
2. 2Thy country's strains record
3. 3The triumphs of her chosen Son,
4. 4The slaughters of his sword!
5. 5The deeds he did, the fields he won,
6. 6The freedom he restored!

1. 7Though thou art fall'n, while we are free
2. 8Thou shall not taste of death!
3. 9The generous blood that flowed from thee
4. 10Disdained to sink beneath:
5. 11Within our veins its currents be,
6. 12Thy spirit on our breath!

1. 13Thy name, our charging hosts along,
2. 14Shall be the battle-word!
3. 15Thy fall, the theme of choral song
4. 16From virgin voices poured!
5. 17To weep would do thy glory wrong:
6. 18Thou shalt not be deplored.
