The morn when wars shall be no more
The morn when Might shall cease to

When hUshed shall be the lannon's

And Peace shall rule the earth again.
As We from Tar survey the fTay
And strive TO succor those who fan.
Let each give thanks that not today
To us the clarion bugles call
That not today to US it's said.

TIL all We had is wrecked and lost"
Should that grim summons to us come
God grant we'd all play heroes parts.
And braveIy fight for land and home
While red blood flows in loyal hearts
But now a duty nobler far
HAS come 70 us in this great day
We are the nations guiding star
They look 10 Us to lead the way
They look to US to lead the way
To liberty for all the world.
