Rhyme Scheme: ABCC ADEE FFEE GGHH GGGG| Since our Country our God Oh my Sire | A |
| Demand that thy Daughter expire | B |
| Since thy triumph was brought by thy vow | C |
| Strike the bosom that's bared for thee now | C |
| - | |
| And the voice of my mourning is o'er | A |
| And the mountains behold me no more | D |
| If the hand that I love lay me low | E |
| There cannot be pain in the blow | E |
| - | |
| And of this oh my Father be sure | F |
| That the blood of thy child is as pure | F |
| As the blessing I beg ere it flow | E |
| And the last thought that soothes me below | E |
| - | |
| Though the virgins of Salem lament | G |
| Be the judge and the hero unbent | G |
| I have won the great battle for thee | H |
| And my Father and Country are free | H |
| - | |
| When this blood of thy giving hath gush'd | G |
| When the voice that thou lovest is hush'd | G |
| Let my memory still be thy pride | G |
| And forget not I smiled as I died | G |
