Thou, too, sail on. o Ship Of STATED
Sail on o Union, strong and great
Humanity with all its fears
With all the hopes Of future years,
Is hanging treathless on thy fate
We know what Master laid thy keel.
What Workman wrought thy ribs of steel,
Who made each mast, and sail, and rope,
What anviIs rang, what hammers beat,
In what forge and what a Heat
Were shaped the anchors Of thy hope
Fear not each sudden sound aud shock,
'Tis Of the wave and not the rock;
IT'S but the Tapping of the sail.
And not a rent male by the gale
In spite of rock and tempest's roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on. nor fear 10 breast the sea
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee;
Our hearts, car hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant Ger our fears,
Are all with thee,-are all with thee
