TRUTH.
O sacred Truth, thou hast a sovereign's power!
And though thy crown is set with many a thorn,
None can deprive thee of thy royal dower,
And none deny that thou art nobly born.
And though thy crown is set with many a thorn,
None can deprive thee of thy royal dower,
And none deny that thou art nobly born.
And thou shalt ever have a loyal band,
To guard thy kingdom, and surround thy throne;
No servile minions, but hearts true and tried,
Whose aims are pure and lofty as thine own.
To guard thy kingdom, and surround thy throne;
No servile minions, but hearts true and tried,
Whose aims are pure and lofty as thine own.
Thus through the Ages shalt thou hold thy sway
And still more glorious shall thy conquests be,
More splendid victories than are thine to-day
Are the great triumphs yet in store for thee.
And still more glorious shall thy conquests be,
More splendid victories than are thine to-day
Are the great triumphs yet in store for thee.
