1. Hail, Co-lumbia, hap-py land! Hail, ye heroes, heav'n-born band, 2. Immortal patriots, rise once more,Defend your rights,defend your shore!
Who fought and bled in freedom's cause, Who fought and bled in freedom's cause, Let no rude foe with im-pious hand, Let no rude foe with impious hand,
And when the storm of war was gone, Enjoyed the peace your valor won, Let Invade the shrine where sacred lies, Of toil and blood the well-earn'd prize, While
In de-pend-ence be our boast. Ever mind-ful what it cost, offering peace sin-cere and just, In Heav'n we place a
As a band of brothers joined, Peace and safety we shall find.
3 Sound, sound the trump of Fame ; Let WASHINGTON's great name
: Ring thro' the world with loud applause!]
Let every clime to freedom dear
Listen with a joyful ear.
With equal skill, with godlike power,
He governs in the fearful hour
Of horrid war, or guides with ease
The happier times of honest peace.
Firm, united, &c.
4 Behold the chief who now commands,
Once more to serve his country stands,
: The rock on which the storm will beat.:
But armed in virtue firm and true,
His hopes are fixed on Heaven and you.
When hope was sinking in dismay,
When gloom obscured Columbia's day,
His steady mind, from changes free,
Resolved on death or LIBERTY.
Firm, united, &c.
Liberty and Union.
BY MRS. J. H. HANAFORD. 1 Hail the Union! let it stand,
Pride of patriots o'er our land;
And let not treason sever now
The sacred bands our fathers joined,
When all the States like tendrils twined
Around the banner of the free,
Shouting "Union!" "Liberty!"
Side by side, like brothers, found
Battling for the hallowed ground.
CHORUS.
Still let "Union!" be our cry;
"Union!" let each State reply-
Liberty and Union twined,
Will be joy and strength combined.
2 From the North, where icy chains
Bind the streams while Winter reigns,
Where patriot blood was freely shed,
Oh! let the fervent prayer ascend,
That Liberty and Union blend
O'er all the land our fathers won,
When Concord plains and Lexington
Rang with shouts of victory,
Prophet-anthems of the free.
Still let "Union!" &c.
3 Where e'en winter airs are balm,
Thro' the South, where waves the palm,
From whence came hearts to freedom true,
To battle for that liberty
So dear to souls by God made free-
Whence came th' immortal Washington,
Wearing the crown his valor won--
Let the Union shout resound,
Drowning treason's discord sound.
Still let "Union!" &c
0.... say, can you
by the dawn's early light,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thro' the perilous
proudly we hailed at the ramparts we watched were so
twilight's last gleaming;
gallantly streaming;
rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our
2 On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses ;
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream.
'Tis the star-spangled banner; O, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
3 And where is that band, who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more-
Their blood has washed out their foul footstep's pollution.
No refuge can save the hireling and slave,
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave;
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Between their loved home and the war's desolation;
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto-"In GOD is our trust-
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
ADDITIONAL VERSE, BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
When our land is illumined with Liberty's smile,
If a foe from within strike a blow at her glory,
Down, down with the traitor that dares to defile
The flag of her stars and the page of her glory!
By the millions unchained who our birthright have gained,
We will keep her bright blazon forever unstained!
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
While the land of the free is the home of the brave.
1. Soldiers of the cross, arise!
Lo! your Leader from the skies,
Waves before you glory's prize, The prize of vic - to
See! the strife will soon be done ; Then struggle manful - ly.
