With lightning speed, in silver shining cars,
Along the bright floor of his azure hail

And make the cedar bend its giant head;
Let domes and columns through the wandering air

Unto the soul of man the same voice spoke,
Advance!
From out the chaos, thunderlike it broke,

Go track the comet in its wheeling ,ace,
And drag the lightning from its hiding place;
From out the night of ignorance and fears

As passed the war cry of the world along
Awake, ye nations, know your powers and tights;

And every man seeming freedman stands;
