Our act is done our freedom's won hurrah for the Volunteers No laws beyond but those alone of our Commons, king and peers The chain is broke the Saxon yoke from our fair neck was taken Dungannon spoke Ireland awoke with fear was England shaken When Grattan rose none dared oppose the claim he made for freedom They knew our words to back his words were ready if he need them Then let us raise to Grattan's praise a proud and joyous anthem And welcome grace and length of days may God in mercy grant them Bless Harry Flood who nobly stood by us through gloomy years Lest Charlemont the brave the good the chief of the Volunteers The North began the North held on the strife for later land Till Ireland rose and cowed her foes God bless the northern land God bless the men of patriot pen swift Molyneux and Lucas Bless sword and gun which free Trade won bless God who ne'er forsook us And long may last the friendship fast which binds us all together While we agree our foes shall flee like clouds in stormy weather Remember still through good and ill how vain were prayers and tears How vain were words till flashed the swords of the Irish Volunteers By arms we've got the rights we've Sought through long and wretched years Hurrah, 'tis done our freedom won, hurrah for the Volunteers
