  1. Men of '98

    Not in vain you poured your life blood
    Gallant hearts of ninety-eight
    Not in vain you stood undaunted
    'Neath the scourge of English hate
    Men whose names shall ne'er decay
    But shall shine like stars to lead us
    To the dawning of the day
    Chorus
    Freedom's bright and blessed day, ect
    3
    O'er the fields your blood has hallowed
    O'ye host's of Irish dead
    In the light of freedom's morning
    Men of Ireland soon shall tread
    When the foe men reels before them
    In the thunder of the fray
    They shall shout your name in triumph
    At the dawning of the day
    Chorus
    Freedom's bright and blessed day, ect
