Verse
Hail! Columbia happy land
hail! ye Heroes heav'n born band
Who fought and bled in freedoms cause
who fought & bled in freedoms cause
and when the storm of war was gone
enjoy'd the peace your valor won
let Independence be our boast
ever mindful what it cost
ever grateful for the prize
let its Altar reach the Skies

Chorus
Firm united let us be
rallying round our Liberty
as a band of Brothers joind
peace and safety we shall find.

Verse
Immortal Patriots rise once more
Defend your rights - defend your shore
Let no rude foe with impious hand
Let no rude foe with impious hand
Invade the shrine where sacred lies
Of toil and blood the well earned prize
While offering peace sincere and just
In heav'n we place a manly trust
That truth and justice will prevail
And every scheme of bondage fail

Verse
Sound sound the trump of fame
Let Washingtons great name
Ring thro the world with loud applause
Ring thro the world with loud applause
Let every clime to Freedom dear
Listen with a joyful ear -
With equal skill with godlike pow'r
He governs in the fearful hour
Of horrid war or guides with ease
The happier times of honest peace -

Verse
Behold the Chief who now commands
Once more to serve his Country stands
The rock on which the storm will beat
The rock on which the storm will beat
But arm'd in virtue firm and true
His hopes are fix'd on heav'n and you -
When hope was sinking in dismay
When glooms obscur'd Columbias day
His steady mind from changes free
Resolved on Death or Liberty -
