Chester


Chester
(William Billings)

Let tyrants shake their iron rod
And slav'ry clang her galling chains;
We'll fear them not We trust in God;
New England's God forever rains

Howe and Burgoyne and Clinton, too
With Prescott and Cornwallis join'd,
Together plot our overthrow,
In one infernal league combined

When God inspired us for the fight
Their lines were broke, their lines were forc'd,
Their ships were shelter'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 generals yield to beardless boys

What grateful offerings shall we bring,
What shall we render to the Lord?
Loud hallelujahs let us sing
And praise his name on every chord

Note: After Yankee Doodle, probably the most popular song among
the American troops during the revolution
