    The Irish Volunteers.
    Hear it on the mountain,
    Hear it in the glen, hear it in the cities,
    The tramp of marching men
    2.
    God light the way there're fairing,
    To strike a blow for Eireann
    The Irish Volunteers.
    A hundred years of waiting, in sorrow o pain
    And now the heart of Eireann, heaths high with hope.
    3.
    God light the way their're fairing
    God give them strength and daring,
    To strike a blow for Eireann. O Irish Volunteers
    Close ranks too long there're broken
    Wipe out the wasted years
    March on March on to freedom,
    With Ireland's Volunteers
    4.
    God light the way there're fairing,
    God give them strength and daring,
    To strike a blow for Eireann,
    O Irish Volunteers.
