Davis, arrang. J. Ferguson, 2020) • V1. • G • When boyhood's fire was in my blood • C D G • I read of ancient freemen, • G • for Greece and Rome who bravely stood, • C D • three hundred men and three men. • D D7 • And then I prayed I yet might see • C B7 • our fetters rent in twain, • C D • and Ireland, long a province, be • G D G • a Nation once again! • Chorus: • G C • A Nation once again, • Am D • a Nation once again. • G Em C • And Ireland, long a province, be • G D G • a Nation once again! • V2. • And from that time, through wildest woe, • that hope has shone a far light. • Nor could love's brightest summer glow • outshine that solemn starlight. • It seemed to watch above my head • in forum, field and fane. • Its angel voice sang round my bed, • a Nation once again! • V3. • It whispered too, that freedom's ark • and service high and holy • would be profaned by feelings dark • and passions vain or lowly. • For Freedom comes from God's right hand, • and needs a Godly train. • And righteous men must make our land • a Nation once again! • V4. • So, as I grew from boy to man, • I bent me to that bidding, • my spirit of each selfish plan • and cruel passion ridding. • For thus I hoped some day to aid— • Oh, can such hope be vain?— • when my dear country shall be made • a Nation once again!
