text:  Oh sweetest liberty! how dear to die! Bound by each sacred link; each holy tie; To save unspotted from the spoiler's hand Child of our heart--our own--our native land! And oh! how dear life's latest drop to shed To free the minds by superstition led;-- To spread with holy earnest zeal abroad That priceless gem--freedom to worship God! To keep unmingled with the world's vain lore The faith that lightens every darken'd hour; That faith which can alone the sinner save Prepare for death and raise him from the grave; Show how by yielding all we surest prove How humbly deeply truly we can love; How much we prize that hope divinely given The key--the seal--the passport into heaven
