Glorious the song, when Gods the theme
Glorious the thunders roar:
Glorious hosanna from the den;
Glorious the catholic amen;
Glorious the martyrs gore:

Of him that brought salvation down
By meekness, called thy Son;
Thou that stupendous truth believed,
And now the matchless deeds achieved,
Determined, Dared, and Done.”
