Shout hurra for freedom\u2019s host,
for freedom\u2019s banner, nobly borne,
shout hurra, though tempest tossed
freedom\u2019s barque shall ride the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the truths our martyrs, dying, taught,
the hearts of men with passion hot,
prepare for human freedom;
Its roots are in no barren soil,
but watered by the tears of toil,
are spreading fast, no storms can spoil
the plant of human freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
is but a sound to tell our shame,
what land have they whose spirits tame
brook loss of human freedom?
When lake and river, hill and dale,
hear children\u2019s cry and women\u2019s wail
of suffering rise on every gale,
for lack of human freddom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
thro\u2019 mount and ocean-severed lands,
with active brain and skilful hands
fighting for human freedom;
For ancient feuds no more divide,
and ancient hates we thrust aside,
our Class, we know, thro\u2019 battle\u2019s tide
must bear the flag of freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
their troubled course the ages ran,
and earth, in long travail for man,
bare seed of human freedom.
For us and ours that heritage
was handed down from age to age,
that we might write on Hist\u2019rys page
the Birth of Human Freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
