IRELAND'S CALL

Come the day and come the hour Come the power and the glory We have come to answer Our Country's call From the four proud provinces of Ireland Chorus Ireland, Ireland, Together standing tall Shoulder to shoulder We'll answer Ireland's call From the mighty Glens of Antrim From the rugged hills of Galway From the walls of Limerick And Dublin Bay From the four proud provinces of Ireland Chorus Hearts of steel And heads unbowing Vowing never to be broken We will fight, until We can fight no more For the four proud provinces of Ireland
