given such high praise by those who have
heard it:
BELOVED LAND.
A hundred years have passed and gonet
Thou glorious land of Washington,
Since he the noble, true and great
Commanded first the ship of state;
A hundred years of storm and shine
Upon the dark and heaving brine;
hundred years OF onward sweep
Against the giants of the deep.
Beloved land of Washington,
Child OF the cioudlesS morning sun,
Thy BIRTH thy glorious BIRTH we sing,
Accept, o God, our offering.
Thou land where freedom lights the way
To pilgrims of better day;
A beacon to the nations where
The soul is mantled with despair;
a land where hope in beauty blooms
Above thousand mossy tombs;
We lift our hearts to Him who gave
This land unto the free and brave.
o, land by all the patriot blood
That stains the SOIL that dyes the flood;
o land to tho't and labor given
The treasures of the highest heaven;
Protected be thy hills and PLAINS
BY Him who still in mercy reigns,
Protected be thy flag unfurled,
The ensign of a rising world.
