NOw dangers us assail,
And troubles us surround;
Its time for us t'be friends,
For fear our foes get ground.

Religion's now at stake,
Our Lives our Liberties,
Wherefore let's draw our swords,
And joyn our Companies.

Let all our quarrels sleep,
Our Church dissensions flee:
Lets joyn together in one,
Live, love, and brethren be.

Let's wrest these swords and spears
Out of our Enemies, hands:
Let's seize their Ordnance,
And rout their swearing Bands.

That Legacy which we
From our fore fathers have,
Before wee'l lose it thus
Our bed shall be a grave.

Though Presbyterians,
And Independents jar;
These know their misery,
Wee'l never fall to war.
