Jubilee.
First the red Indian, with war paint and feather:
"oii'hue' silence, on prairie and HILL
Lofty the mountains
Laughed the lone fountains
LeaDed the wild cataracts
Singing together,
ms is our country, with nature for king!
Let the wide heavens with jubilee ring
Then came the man of the time and of heaven,
Hod-Sent Columbus, our bounds to descry.
soon nil and valley
Answered the rally
OF cchong voices
From earth and from sky:
mis- is our country. with God for our king.
Let the wide heavens with jubilee ring
Faster and thicker, like snowfakes descending.
Came the worlds freedmen like doves ia their
flight.
England sent over
Craftsman and lover,
Soldiers and sailors
To rule to fight.
linus grew our country. with God for our king!
Let the wide heavens with jubilee ring.
Game then the eagle-the flag in its glory;
Came then great Washington warrior and chief
Fled the wild Indian
Fled all foemen
Flocked to shores
All the nations in grief
Here to find homes free from bigot or kInci
Let the wide heavens with jubilee ring.
Hail to our Jubilee nation of nations:
Millions will echo the joyous refrain.
All lands give greeting
Thy children meeting
Crowned or uIsceptered,
In valley or plain.
Shout, then-let no voice for loyalty lag:
All hail, country our heroes our flag!
Peace to the land knows bigot nor king!
Let the wide heavens with jubilee ring.
