Original text by JN Holland. Ah Sweet victory Shine like the sun; The bright and glorious champion Lift the torch of vict'ry's fiery flame And sing again. O sweet, sweet victory The battle done, The right and virtuous honor won So place the wreath upon the victor's brow And shout aloud, 'Hoorah Hoorah Hoorah ' Hist'ry's fame will add your name For now and ever Praise to those who overcome, Triumph of one's own Adversities and demons won, No nobler aim, No harder vanquished foe. And let Peace reign throughout the Land, Love will prevail, Much surer than the tyrant's Hand. The stars attained, Through perseverance gained. The stars attained, Our victory gained 'Hoorah Hoorah Hoorah Hist'ry's fame can add our names, For now and ever. 'Hoorah Hoorah Hoorah So raise your hands and celebrate This glorious feat, this glorious date. All glow within the moment's bliss, The beauty of sweet Vict'ry's kiss Long live this day Sweet Victory Ah |
