Sweet liberty shining therein. Such strength and devotion we gain, These days of confusion and strife, For freedom and peace we maintain Will bloom with new vigor and life; Where dynasties long have held sway, And to the weak justice denied, The new star of freedom alway Will brighten the path they defied. {21} {21} LEAD THOU ME ON. Lead thou me on, oh guiding light, Yes over life’s tempestuous sea, My bark is frail as I set sail, Over the bounding billows free; The white caps glisten in the sun, The angry waves dash on the shore, But thy beacon light is shining, Brightly shining to guide me o’er.
