    Oh, God rest you, Robert Emmett,
    And God rest you, noble Tone,
    And God rest you, Hugh O'Donnell,
    And O'Neill of brave Tyrone.
    God rest you Patrick Sarsfield
    In your grave, far, far away,
    God rest you all who strove to speed
    The Dawning of the Day.
    Chorus
    Freedom's bright and blesses day,
    Ireland free from foreign sway,
    Lift your hearts, and pray God speed to the Dawning of the Day.

    Not in vain you stood undaunted
