HARK! hark! the joyful news
is come,
Sound, sound the trumpet beat the
drum,
While merry bells refound;
Where Freedom's
sacred
ensigns
wave,
Supported by the Free and Brave,
There victory is found.
By Hell inspired with brutal rage,
Austria and Prussia both engage
To crush fair Freedom's flame;
But the intrepid sons of France,
Have led them such a glorious dance,
They've turn'd
their backs for
shame.
May Heaven continue still to bless,
The arms of Freedom with success,
Till tyrants are no more;
And still, as Gallia's sons shall fight,
From victory to victory,
We'll shouting cry Encore!
