Scourge us as Thou wilt oh Lord God of Hosts	A
Deal with us Lord according to our transgressions	B
But give us Victory	C
Victory victory oh Lord victory	C
Oh Lord victory Lord Lord victory	C
	-
	-
Lift Thy wrath up from the day of battle	D
And set it on the weight of other days	E
Draw Thy strength from us for many days	E
So Thou be with us on the day of battle	D
And give us victory	C
Victory victory oh Lord victory	C
Oh Lord victory Lord Lord victory	C
	-
	-
Let the strong arm be as the flag o' the river	F
The withered flag that flappeth o'er the river	F
When all the flood is dried out of the river	F
	-
	-
Let the brave heart be as a drunkard's bosom	G
When the thick fume is frozen in the bosom	G
And the bare sin lies shivering in the bosom	G
	-
	-
Let the bold eye be sick and crazed with midnight	H
Strained and cracked with aching days of midnight	H
Swarmed and foul with creeping shapes of midnight	H
	-
	-
So Thou return upon the day of battle	D
So we be strong upon the day of battle	D
Be drunk with Thee upon the day of battle	D
So Thou shine o'er us in the day of battle	D
Shine in the faces of our enemies	I
Hot in the faces of our enemies	I
Hot o'er the battle and the victory	C
Victory victory oh Lord victory	C
Oh Lord victory Lord Lord victory	C
	-
	-
Shame us not oh Lord before the wicked	J
In our hidden places let Thy wrath	K
Afflict us in the secret of our sin	L
Convince us be the bones within our flesh	M
Marrowed with fire and all the strings of life	N
Strung to the twang of torture let the stench	O
Of our own strength torment us the desire	F
Of our own glorious image in the sea	C
Consume us shake the darkness like a tree	C
And fill the night with mischiefs blights and dwales	C
Weevils and rots and cankers But oh Lord	P
Humble us not upon the day of battle	D
Hide not Thy face upon the day of battle	D
Let it shine o'er us on the day of battle	D
Shine in the faces of our enemies	C
Hot in the faces of our enemies	C
Hot o'er the battle and the victory	C
Victory victory oh Lord victory	C
Oh Lord victory Lord Lord victory	C
	-
	-
Tho' Thou shouldst glorify us above measure	F
Yet will we not forget that Thou art God	Q
Honour our land oh Lord honour our land	R
	-
	-
Be Thou her armour in the day of battle	D
Whereon the sword of man shall strike in vain	S
For Thou canst find the place and leave no scar	T
Sting of bee nor fairy spot nor mole	U
Yet kill the germ within the core of life	N
	-
	-
Oh lead her in the glory of her beauty	C
So that the nations wonder at her beauty	C
For Thou canst take her beauty by the heart	V
And throw the spout of sorrow from the fountain	W
The flood of sorrow thro' the veins of joy	X
	-
	-
Let her soul look out of her eyes of glory	C
Lighten oh Lord fron awful eyes of glory	C
For Thou canst touch the soul upon its throne	Y
The fortressed soul upon its guarded throne	Y
Nor scorch the sweet air of the populous splendour	C
That comes and goes about a leprous king	Z
Therefore fear not to bless us oh Lord God	Q
And give us victory	C
Victory victory oh Lord victory	C
Oh Lord victory Lord Lord victory	C
	-
	-
Sight of home if Thou wilt kiss of love	A2
If Thou wilt children at the knees of peace	C
If Thou wilt parents weeping in the door	C
Of welcome if Thou wilt but victory	C
Victory victory oh Lord victory	C
Oh Lord victory Lord Lord victory	C
	-
	-
Pangs if Thou wilt oh Lord Death if Thou wilt	B2
Labour and famine frost and fire and storm	C2
Silent plague and hurricane of battle	D
The field grave and the wolf grave and the sea	C
But victory victory oh Lord victory	C
Oh Lord victory Lord Lord victory	C
	-
	-
Consider Lord the oppressions of the oppressor	C
And give us victory	C
The tyrant sitteth on his golden throne	Y
In palaces of silver to his gates	C
The meeting winds blow good from all the world	D2
Who hath undone the mountain where he locks	C
His treasure In the armoury of hell	E2
Which engine is not his His name infects	C
The air of every zone and to each tongue	F2
From Hecla to the Ganges adds a word	G2
That kills all terms of pride His servants sit	H2
In empires round his empire and outspread	H2
As land beneath the water oh my God	H2
His kingdoms bear the half of all Thy stars	C
Who hath out told his princes Who hath summed	H2
His captains From the number of his hosts	C
He should forget a nation and not lack	I2
Therefore oh Lord God give us victory	C
	-
	-
The serf is in his hut the unsacred sire	C
Who can beget no honour Lo his mate	H2
Dim thro' the reeking garlic she whose womb	J2
Doth shape his ignorant shame and whose young slave	K2
In some far field thickens a knouted hide	H2
For baser generations Their dull eyes	C
Are choked with feudal welfare their rank limbs	C
Steam in the stye of plenty their rude tongues	C
That fill the belly from the common trough	L2
Discharge in gobbets of as gross a speech	M2
That other maw the heart Nor doth the boor	C
Refuse his owner's chattel tho' she breed	H2
The rich man's increase nor doth she disdain	S
The joyless usage of such limbs as toil	N2
Yoked with the nobler ox and take as mute	H2
A beast's infliction at her stolid side	H2
The girl that shall be such a thing as she	C
Suckles the babe she would not with the milk	O2
A bondmaid owes her master Lord Thou seest	H2
Therefore oh Lord God give us victory	C
	-
	-
The captive straineth at the dungeon grate	H2
Behold oh Lord the secret of the rock	P2
The dungeon and the captive and the chain	S
Tho' it be hidden under forest leaves	C
Tho' it be on the mountains among clouds	C
Tho' they point to it as a crag o' the hill	Q2
And say concerning it that the wind waileth	K
Thou knowest the inner secret and the sin	L
I see his white face at the dungeon bars	C
As snow between the bars of winter trees	C
He sinketh down upon the dungeon stones	C
His white face making light within the dungeon	W
The clasp d whiteness of his praying hands	C
Flickering a little light within the dungeon	W
And thro' the darkness thro' the cavern darkness	C
Like to a runnel in a savage wood	H2
Sweet thro' the horror of the hollow dark	R2
He sings the song of home in the strange land	H2
	-
	-
How long oh Lord of thunder Victory	C
Lord God of vengeance give us victory	C
Victory victory oh Lord victory	C
Oh Lord victory Lord Lord victory	C
