God bless the good old thirtssP. States,
God hless the young ones 100
Who cares tyr muSty b. ,h-aay dstes9
God bless them-o!d and new.
The old ones frst our freedom psinsd,
In bloody ights Of yore =.
The young ones have their nights maintained
q As the old once did befOrH
OF s0urn or North, or East o. Hcsr, -"
Twin sisters all they be;
one mother nurSed them at her breast,
And that was Liberty
And may the wretch wfrose harm tNsIf sttiys
To cut their vital thread, e
sbe scnrned YhIo IN this world alive, -
And scorned when he IL dssd! .-.. .-
Nov I'll the bowl with Nature's wine, -

, The sovereign Peoples hIps-
FOr they're the only King OYI;,
All Otnc despiSe;
The King that towers above the throne
The King that never dies.
Oil may that sceptre wide extend
Ger every land and sea,
Without beginning, without end, -r'
And conquer To set free!'
Till Freedoms banner floats alone,
beacon IN the sky,
And man no other Lord shall own
Dut lie WhO rules on high.
