“Hey for the Day!” Sheet Music (pdf).
“Hey for the Day!” Karaoke (midi with lyrics).
Lyrics: Tom Maguire.
Tune: “French Canadian.”
Darkest is night;
We do not fear;
Dawning is near;
Soon we shall see
Morning all bright
Burst into sight.
There shall be light
Where gloom used to be.
Then hey for the day!
When wrong shall have flown
Forever away
To be nevermore known,
When over the land
The cause shall command:
Sing hey for the dawn of day!
Ours is the day;
We shall move on,
Fearful of none
Who’d fain see us fall.
Lest the world stray,
Lead we the way
To Freedom for aye
And Freedom for all.
Then hey for the day!
When wrong shall have flown
Forever away
To be nevermore known,
When over the land
The cause shall command:
Sing hey for the dawn of day!
