(A Nation Once Again)
[Verse]
When boyhood's fire was in my blood, I read of ancient freemen,
For Greece and Rome who bravely stood, three hundred men and three men,
And there I prayed I yet might see, our fetters rent in twain,
And Ireland, long a province be a nation once again.

[Chorus]
A nation once again, a nation once again,
And Ireland, long a province be a nation once again.

[Verse]
As I grew from boy to man, I bent me to that bidding,
My spirit of each selfish plan and cruel passions ridding,
For freedom comes from God's right hand and needs a godly wain,
And righteous men will make our land a nation once again.

[Chorus]
A nation once again, a nation once again,
And Ireland, long a province be a nation once again.

(God Bless This Lovely Land Of Mine)
[Chorus]
And God bless this lovely land of mine,
And God bless the mountains, the hills and the valleys,
Someday the sun will cease to shine,
And I'll desert this lovely land of mine.

[Verse]
"This lovely land," the old man said,
"Will be alive when we are dead",
Well, my fathers words still haunt my mind,
For it's God bless this lovely land of mine.

[Chorus]
And God bless this lovely land of mine,
And God bless the mountains, the hills and the valleys,
Someday the sun will cease to shine,
And I'll desert this lovely land of mine.

[Verse]
Through misty eyes, I see my land,
And hunger for her future grand,
What greater hunger can there be?
For I hunger still, to see her free.

[Chorus]
And God bless this lovely land of mine,
And God bless the mountains, the hills and the valleys,
Someday the sun will cease to shine,
And I'll desert this lovely land of mine.

[Bridge]
The I, the I, the IRA.

[Verse]
My gallant comrades have passed away,
But with this song I'll sing today,
I'll sing this song before I die,
For it's God bless this lovely land of mine.

[Chorus]
And God bless this lovely land of mine,
And God bless the mountains, the hills and the valleys,
Someday the sun will cease to shine,
And I'll desert this lovely land of mine.

(God Save Ireland)
[Verse]
Well high upon the gallows tree, swung the noble hearted three,
By the vengeful tyrant, stricken in their bloom,
For they met him face to face with the courage of their race,
And they went with souls undaunted to their doom.

[Chorus]
"And God save Ireland" said the hero,
"God save Ireland" said they all,
Whether on the scaffold high or a battlefield we die,
Oh, it matter whens, for Ireland here we fall.

[Bridge]
The I, the I, the IRA.

[Chorus]
"And God save Ireland" said the hero,
"God save Ireland" said they all,
Whether on the scaffold high or a battlefield we die,
Oh, it matter whens, for Ireland here we fall.

[Verse]
Never till the latest day will their memories pass away,
Of the gallant lives thus given for our land,
But on the cause must go, midst the joy, the weal or woe,
Till we make our isle a nation free and grand.

[Chorus]
"And God save Ireland" said the hero,
"God save Ireland" said they all,
Whether on the scaffold high or a battlefield we die,
Oh, it matter whens, for Ireland here we fall.

[Chorus]
"And God save Ireland" said the hero,
"God save Ireland" said they all,
Whether on the scaffold high or a battlefield we die,
Oh, it matter whens, for Ireland here we fall,
Oh, it matter when, for Ireland here we fall.
