WORDS BY MONTGOMERY.

Brittannia hath triumph'd the Bondman is free;

Brittannia hath triumph'd the Bondman is free;
Sing — for the pride of the tyrant is broken,
His scourges and fetters, all clotted with blood,
Are wrenched from his grasp: for the

word was but spoken,
And fetters and scourges were sunk in the flood;
Blow ye the trumpet abroad o'er the sea,
Brittannia hath triumphed, the Bondman is free:

2. Hail to Brittannia, fair Liberty's isle!
Her frown quailed the tyrants, the slave caught her smile;
Hail to Brittannia, fair Liberty's isle!
Her frown quailed the tyrants, the slave caught her smile;
Fly on the winds to tell Afric the story,
Say to the mother of mourners — "Rejoice"
Brittannia went forth, in the might of her glory,
And slaves sprung to men at the sound of her voice;

Praise to the God of our fathers; 'twas he:
Jehovah, who triumphed, Brittannia!!! by thee —
Brittannia!!! by thee — Brittannia!!! by thee.
