PATRIOTISM.
(Tune. ARerica.)

Our souls are full Of cheer
Our country we hold dear,
Twill ever be.
We've often read and read
Fore fathers fought and bled
And we have often said.
II shall be free.
For us they took the stand
That we might have this land,
So free and bright
Full many hardship bore
Put opened wide the door,
That none may close no more
It's ours by right,
God help us all to see
What's right for our country,
Each do their share.
Help us in time of need,
To sow by thought and deed,
And scatter well the seed,
OF live and dare.
May wars forever cease,
Nav conferences of peace,
Reign here alone,
To each and every one
Let work be bravely done,
by forefathers begun.
For God and home
