The Marseillaise Hymn

Esons of freedom, wake to glory ! Hark! hark ! what myriads bid you rise ! Your childen, wives, and grandsires hoary, Behold their tears and hear their cries ! Shall hateful tyrants, mischiefs breeding, With hireling hosts, a ruffian band, Affright and desolate the land, While peace and liberty lie bleeding? To arms ! to arms ! ye brave! Th' avenging sword unsheathe; March on! march on! all hearts resolved Onvictory or death. Now, now the dangerous storm is rolling, Which treacherous kings confederate raise ; The dogs of war, let loose, are howling, And lo! our fields and cities blaze; And shall we basely view the ruin, While lawless force, with guilty stride, Spreads desolation far and wide, With crimes and blood his hands embruing? To arms ! to arms ! ye brave! Th' avenging sword unsheathe; March on! march on! allhearts resolved Onvictory or death. O Liberty! can man resign thee, Once having felt thy generous flame? Candungeons, bolts, or bars confine thee? Or whips thy noble spirit tame? NATIONAL HYMN OF NORWAY Too long the world has wept, bewailing That falsehood's dagger tyrants wield, But freedom is our sword and shield, And all their arts are unavailing. To arms ! to arms ! ye brave! Th' avenging sword unsheathe ; March on! march on! all hearts resolved Onvictory or death. SWEDISH NATIONAL AIR THOU HOU ancient, thou healthful, thou mountainous North, Where joy with peaceful beauty dallies ; I hail thee, fairest land on earth, Thy sun, thy sky and green valleys, Thy sun, thy sky and green valleys.

His sword was hammering so fast, Thro' Gothic helm and brain it pass'd, Then sank each hostile hulk and mast, In mist and smoke. "Fly," shouted they; "fly he who can! Who braves of Denmark's Christian, Who braves of Denmark's Christian the stroke." Nils Juel gave heed to th' tempest's roar, Now is the hour! He hoisted his blood-red flag once more, And smote upon the foe full sore, Andshouted loud thro' the tempest's roar, "Now is the hour." "Fly!" shouted they, "for shelter fly ! Of Denmark's Juel who can defy, Of Denmark's Juel who can defy the power?" SPANISH NATIONAL HYMN North Sea! aglimpse of Wessel rent Thy murky sky ! Then champions to thine arms were sent; Terror and Death glared where he went; From the waves was heard a wail, that rent Thy murky sky ! From Denmark thunders Tordenskiol! Let each to Heav'n commend his soul, Let each to Heav'n commend his soul andfly. Path of the Dane to fame and might! Dark rolling wave! Receive thy friend, who scorning flight, Goes to meet danger with despite, Proudly as thou the tempest's might, Dark rolling wave! 'Mid mingled pleasures and alarms, Andwar and vict'ry be thine arms, 'Midwar and vict'ry, be thine arms mygrave. SPANISH NATIONAL HYMN PREAD the tidings afar to the nations, Let them learn from the freedom of Spain, For the laws are the people's salvation, And our King as their servant shall reign. For their country, true Spaniards will dare it, Dare to perish for Liberty's cause To the tories' destruction, we swear it! Live forever the King andthe laws. AUSTRIAN NATIONAL SONG OD uphold thee, mighty Emperor, Monarch of our Eastern land. Power and Wisdom e'er attend thee, Righteousness with thee shall stand, Till the laurel crown'd, a victor, All hearts bow at thy command. God uphold thee, and defend thee, Emperor of our Austrian land! Happy flow'ry land! His scepter rules o'er valley, mount and plain. Mildly, calmly, justly ruleth, He the people's love would gain, Yet his weaponed might, in splendor Beams thro' all the land amain. God uphold thee, warrior, Father, Monarch of our Austrian land!
