Chorus
Let The important theme inspire
Each breast with patriotic fire.
Long did Oppression DER the world
Her sangninc banners wide display;
Dark Bigotry her thundcrs hurrd,
And Freedoms domes in ruins lay.
Justice and Liberty had flown,
And tyrants Cull'd the world their own.
Thus Heaven our race with pity viewed,
Resolved bright freedom to restore,
And Heaven directed, o'cr the Hood,
Columbus found her on this shore.
Ger the blest land, with rays divine,
She shone, and shall forever shine.
Harkl from above the great decree
Floats in celestial notes along:
Columbia ever shall be free
ESulting thousands swell tile song.
Patriots revere the great decree,
Columbia ever shall be free.
Here shall tn enthusiastic love
Which trecmcn TO their country owe,
Enkindlcd, glorious from above,
In every patriot bosom glow.
Inspire the heart, the arm extend,
The rights OF freedom to defend.
Secure forever, and entire,
The rights of man shall here remain;
No mobiles kindlc discord's fire,
Nor despots load with slavery's chain.
Hero shall tn oppressed find sweet re-
pose,
Since hone but tyrants are our foes.
Here commerce shall her sails extend
Science diituse her kindest ray,
Religions plrest flame ascend
And peace shall crown each happy day.
Thrice favored land, by Heaven design'd,
A world of blessings for mankind.
Then while we keep this jubilee,
While seated round this awful thrine,
Columbus deeds our theme shall be,
And liberty, that gift divine.
Let the transporting theme inspire
Each broust with patriotic fire.
She Owed $50 to O'Grady.
