Page 342 - Take thy banner ! — may it wave Proudly o'er the good and brave, When the battle's distant wail Breaks the Sabbath of our vale, — When the clarion's music thrills To the hearts of these lone hills, — When the spear in conflict shakes, And the strong lance shivering breaks Take thy banner ! — and beneath The war-cloud's encircling wreath, Guard it — till our homes are free — Guard it — God will prosper thee...
