America.
I Ny country it's Of thee,
, Sweet land Of liberty.
OF thee / sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land Of the pilgrims pride,
I From every mountain side,
Let freedom ring.
Ny native country thee
Land Of the noble free
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rIlls.
Thy woods and tempted hills;
Ny heart with rapture thrills.
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees.
Sweet freedoms song;
Let mortal tongues awake:
Let all that breathe partale;
Let rocks their silence break
Thy sound prolong.
Our fathers God to thee,
( Author OF liberty.
To thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright,
I With freedoms holy light
! Protect US by thy might,
Great God, our King.
Battle Hymn Of Republic.
Mine eyes have seen the glory OF the
coming Of the Lord;
He is tramping out the vintage where
the grapes OF wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning Of
his terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Chorus:
Glory, glory hallelujah, glory, glory
hallelujah. glory. glory hallelujah
his truth is marching on.
I have seen him in the watchhres Of
hundred circling camps,
They have builded him an altar in thu
ev'ning dews and damps;
I can read his righteous sentence by thu
dim and faring lamps;
His day is marching on
Glory, glory hallelujah. glory, glory
hallelujah, glory. glory hallelujah
his day is marching on.
I have read a fiery gospel writ in bur
nish'd rows Of steel;
"As ye deal with my contemners, s.
with you my grace shall deal"
Let the hero born OF woman, crush tn
serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on
Chorus:
Glory, glory hallelujah, glory. glory
halleluiah, glory, glory halleluJaf
since God is marching on
Columbia, Gem Of the Ocean
Oh, Columbia, the gem Of the ocean,
The home Of the brave and the free.
/ The shrine Of each patriots devotion,
/ A world offers homage to thee;
| I Thy mandates make heroes assemble,
] When liberty's form stands in view
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
E When borne by the red, white an
! blue.
Z Chorus:
5 When borne by the red. white and blu'
When borne by the red. white and blu'
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
: When borne by the red. white and blu'
