Henry Lawson - At The Beating Of A Drum

Henry Lawson - At The Beating Of A Drum

Fear ye not the stormy future, for the Battle Hymn is strong, br And the armies of Australia shall not march without a song; br The glorious words and music of Australia's song shall come br When her true hearts rush together at the beating of a drum. br br We may not be there to hear it – 'twill be written in the night, br And Australia's foes shall fear it in the hour before the fight. br The glorious words and music from a lonely heart shall come br When our sons shall rush to danger at the beating of the drum. br br He shall be unknown who writes it; he shall soon forgotten be, br But the song shall ring through ages as a song of liberty. br And I say the words and music of our battle hymn shall come, br When Australia wakes in anger at the beating of a drum.
