With loval hearts and true

With loyal hearts and true
Forward to the battle,
Onward every one
Till the last great tyrant' S reign isended,
And victory is won.
Is there one whose courage fails,
Who fears to face the foe?
Think of those who bled for US
And in their spirit go;
If the strength of Washington and
Lincoln's mighty powers
Abide with US we cannot fail
The victory will be ours.
CHORUS:
Heed poor Belgium's awful woes
And Serbia's bloody tears;
Poland's means, Armenia's groans
Are ringing in our ears;
From the depths of mighty Ocean
Children's voices rise,
And martyrs blood by tyrants shed
To heaven for vengeance cries.
CHORUS:
O'er us waves Columbia's flag,
We hear the trumpet blow;
Forward! 'Tis our Country calls!
March, march against the foe!
See! the despot now is Keeling!
Soon his reign shall cease,
And the whole world rejoice once more
In friendship, love, and peace.

To bring the nations meath his sway,
To overthrow the right.
