HYMN OF THE VAUDOIS MOUNTAINEERS, &c.

For the shadow of thy presence,
    Bound our camp of rock outspread;
For the stern defiles of battle,
    Bearing record of our dead;
For the snows and for the torrents,
    For the free heart's burial sod;
For the strength of the hills we bless thee.
    Our God, our fathers' God!
