There is the altar, there is the wall,
Disfigured by Méhemet’s hand:
We should raise the Cross of Christ in the hall
Where the Turkish banners stand;
And the tones of “Te Deum,” quenched in blood,
Should resound again in the land.

There is the altar, there is the wall,
Disfigured by Méhemet’s hand:
We should raise the Cross of Christ in the hall
Where the Turkish banners stand;
And the tones of “Te Deum,” quenched in blood,
Should resound again in the land.
