Let Freemen's Hearts Grow Bolder

(WEBB. 7,6,7,6,D.)

Louis F. Benson, 1917

George J. Webb, 1837

1. Let free- men's hearts grow bold - er;
   Let free-dom's ban-ner fiy
   Where God's four winds en - fold her
   To God's un - chart - ed sky.
   His Word and not an - oth er's
   Is pledged to lib - er - ty;
   His hand hath made men broth - ers,
   His truth shall make men free.
   
2. Where free- dom's flag is fly - ing
   In lands a - cross the sea,
   On thee we are re - ly - ing,
   Great God, we count on thee!
   For right is right for ev -er,
   Tho' men have crowned the wrong,
   And truth shall per - ish nev - er
   Great God, how long ? how long ?
   
3. When our brave lads are dy ing
   In lands a - cross the sea,
   On thee we are re - ly - ing,
   Great God, they die for thee!
   And if we lay them sleep - ing
   In lands be - yond the sea,
   God have them in thy keep - ing
   We leave them there with thee.
   A-men.
