The Brave and Free.Air—The Pilot.Oh, comrades! ’tis a fearful strifeThat jars our land this day—When brother strikes at brother’s life,And sons their sires betray!But He who rules each nation’s right,Our sword and shield shall be!Fear not! fear not! Jehovah’s mightStill guards the Brave and Free!Though rebels swarm on every hand,And Treason spreads its snares,Our Ship of State, by patriots mann’d,The Flag of Stars upbears!Behind the clouds is sunshine bright,Whose beams we soon shall see!Fear not! fear not! Jehovah’s mightStill guards the Brave and Free!No craven doubt shall shake our trustIn Union’s righteous cause;Our motives pure—our action just—For Freedom’s Land, and Laws!Against the foes of man we fight,And Victory ours shall be!Fear not! fear not! Jehovah’s mightStill guards the Brave and Free!
