ger,
We've grown with the years beneath Lib
erty's tree;
Our voice has been heard in the land of the
stranger,
Our cannon have shaken the isles of the
sea.
To-day we remember the good Thou hast
Nor do we vaingloriously boast Of our
might;
The humblest who stands in the sunlight
Of Heaven
Meath the banner we love is a king in His
sight;
The woodman who dwells in his cot on the
mountain
To-day is the peer of the nabob below;
We are free from the brink Of the lily
kissd fountain
To the land Of the beautiful mountains Of
snow.
Our Father, we thank Thee; the hearts Of
the people
With gratitude beat in the home. at the
shrine,
And silver-toned bells from the towering
steeple
Are chanting with fervor the anthem
divine:
We see when we look over hilltop and river
A banner that CLEANS in the light of the
sun,
With stars in it's blue that will glitter for
ever,
And crowned with a love that Its story
hath won.
May ever the Nation remember the story,
How 1t in the throes Of the battle was
born;
May every Thanksgiving but add to its
glory,
Already as fair as the birth of the Morn
We come as a people to Gratitude's altar.
Devoted and thankful, true, righteous
and free;
When our homes are imperiled not hero
will falter,
For God will be with US on land and on
sea.
T. c. HARBAUGH.
