TEXAS HYMN
Arise, arise brave Texans, awake to liberty;
To Mexican oppressors no longer bend the knee,
But hasten to the combat, with freedom's flag unfurled,
That the glorious deeds of Texas may echo through the world.
The bugle sounds to battle, war desolates our land,
Proud Mexico's vile minions advance upon our band.
But though the blood of Texas should crimson every plain,
The rights that God has given us forever we'll maintain.
Though justice long has slumbered, refreshed she'll soon awake,
The tryant that invades us, at her stern voice shall quake.
Before the dread tribunal his haughty pride shall bend,
In honor for our bulwark, in vain shall he contend.32.
