Sustained by their smiles, we will never despair,
For the cause we've espoused, in defence of the
Our allies they are
In peace and in war.
In guiding to virtue, our bright morning star,
In this resolution we all have concurrned
That we'll never dshonor the gift they CONFER d.
with truth as our Bucker and Justice ouI Shield
Corruption and fraud will not long countervail us
Unturlng our Banner we'll march to the field
Tho Il host Of Blar's sanderous weapons assail
us,
Invoking the hand,
That rescued our land,
From disunion and danger,
Unwavering we'll stand.
And then Will our Banner triumpaantly wave,
Der the downfall Of him who is traitor and knare.
