Chorus

A nation once again

  Am D7A nation once again

  G Em And CIreland longD a province be

  G D A nGation once again

And from that time through wildest woe

That hope has shone a far light

Nor could loves brightest summer glow

Outshine that solemn starlight

It seemed to watch above my head

In forum, field and fane

Its angel voice sang round my bed

A nation once again

CHO:

It whisperd too that freedoms ark

And service high and holy

Would be profaned by feelings dark

And passions vain or lowly

For, freedom comes form Gods right hand

And needs a godly train

And righteous men must make our land

A nation once agian

CHO:

So, as I grew from boy to man

I bent me to that bidding

My spirit of each selfish plan

And cruel passion ridding

For, thus I hoped some day to aid

Oh, can such hope be vain

When my dear country shall be made

A nation once again.
