22And the blood of our Prophets shall flow? 30We’ll scatter their troops at a glance.
23No! the thought sets the heart wildly beating; 31Soon the kingdom will be independent;
24Our vows at each pulse we renew, 32In wonder the nations will view
25Ne’er to rest till our foes are retreating, 33Our Zion in glory resplendent;
26And to be ever faithful and true. 34Then let us be faithful and true.
35Then let us be faithful and true,
36Then let us be faithful and true;
37Our Zion in glory resplendent;
38Then let us be faithful and true.

33In wonder the nations will view
34The despised ones in glory resplendent;
35The let us be faithful and true!
