Confederate National Anthem - God Save the South (Instrumental)

"God Save The South" is considered to be the national anthem for the Confederate States of America. The song was written in 1861 by George Henry Miles, with the music composed by Charles Wolfgang Amadeus Ellerbrock. Miles wrote it with the intent to inspire Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War.

God save the South, God save the South,
Her altars and firesides, God save the South!
Now that the war is nigh, now that we arm to die,
Chanting our battle cry, "Freedom or death!"
Chanting our battle cry, "Freedom or death!"

God be our shield, at home or afield,
Stretch Thine arm over us, strengthen and save.
What tho' they're three to one, forward each sire and son,
Strike till the war is won, strike to the grave!
Strike till the war is won, strike to the grave!

God made the right stronger than might,
Millions would trample us down in their pride.
Lay Thou their legions low, roll back the ruthless foe,
Let the proud spoiler know God's on our side.
Let the proud spoiler know God's on our side.
