Freedom's trying hour is before u;
Traitor's threat'ning pow'r hovers o'er us;
Voices clamor loud and long,
Drowning out pure freedom's song;
And they ask the source of our freedom!
Chorus:
Stand fast in the liberty where-with Christ hath made us free;
And be not again entangled with the bonds of the enemy!
Go teach ev'ry nation that the Christ of Calvary
Is risen from the dead and offers to all true liberty.
Freedom was not granted our nation
By our fathers' firm declaration.
It was purchased at great loss,
By our Lord upon the cross.
Jesus is the source of our freedom! Chorus
