war-song of the magyars.
With the weapons of thine anger,
And the armour of thy might!

Once more be thy victorious strength
On mortal hearts outpoured;
Take Thou the blood-guilt from our strife,
And sanctify the sword
That strikes for Freedom! For the right,
Make bare thine arm, O Lord!

Bless Thou our banners, till their folds
On Freedom's ramparts wave,
And shade the patriot's holy rest;
O, strengthen, guide, and save
Our PROPHET-HERO to the end,—
God of the struggling brave!
