CHANT OF THE NEW UNION.
From McClure's Magazine.

From McClure's Magazine Blood of the North
 To the Blood of the South
 Are we the same blood? Though in strife parted-born of ono mother; Now, as the forge fires flame OCT the land, Lift we loving cup, hand clasped in hand. Draining the same draft, though it be red; Shouting the same cry, wherever led, Drink to our union!
 Yes
 Now the same blood! Heart of the North
 To the Heart of the South
 Beat we the same heart? In thirst and hunger, at the same altar, Knead we the bread, to break with our wine. Kneel we together, chanting our psalter; Rise we together, freedom our sign. All of our heroes look down from heaven. Where our blood runs their blessing is Sons of the union!
 Yes
 Now the same heart! Sword of the North
 To the Sword of the South
 Lift we the same sword? Thrust in our hands for the vengeance of God. Clasp we its hafts in the battles of right. Where murder and famine and rapine nave trod, We lift to annihilate-righteous our might. Wave we on high heaven kissing the brand That it's gleam may be seen in faint, stricken land Strike for your union!
 Yes
 Now the same swordi Flag of the North
 To the flag of the South
 Float we the same flag? Hallowed star-spangled one calm, pure and regal Lead us to reap where the harvest Is sown. Follow the scream of our cloud-circhng Rprst from its cage, its war pinions new grown; snread and unfurl to tell victorys story. Symbol of justice, symbol of glory. Wave for the union
 Yes
 Now the same flag. Prayer of the North To the Prayer of the South
 Breathe we the same prayer? Death to oppression, succor to pain Fen through our vows shrill shrieks fill the air; Rise! that they may not! but strike for a nations despair! Lift the sword cross as once Gods soldiers prayed; Pray as the knight of the holy crusade. Pray for our union! Yes
 Now the same prayer,
