The Fourth of july.

The Fourth Of July! Oh. the Fourth Of July!
The day Freedoms banners were lifted up high
And out to the bree1es Of heaven unfurled,
Proclaiming q boon to the whole Of the world
For liberty then found q sure resting place
For downtrodden people Of every race,
And dawn Of a golden tomorrow was shown.
To Danish the scepter, the crown and the throne.
The Fourth of July! Oh. the Fourth of July!
Let our reclamation ring out through the sky!
Each heart should beat true on this glorious day.
To give Freedoms legions the right Of the way!
Fling out every Gag Of land to the breeze
The promise of light to the storm-darkened seas,
To hurl back the storm Of tyrannical hate.
The Fourth Of July! Oh. the Fourth Of July.
The day Freedoms eaglet was shown how to ny
And rest the poise of his beautiful wings,
To watch the encroachments of barbarous kings;
When he shall swoop down in his terrible power
To end the existence Of tyrant and slave
And Justice and peace for the whole world to save!
The Fourth Of July! Oh. the Fourth of July!
Its spirit flames forth. our own spirits to try.
And blaze in the spirit Of seventy-sfxt
If such be our worth then the future shall show
Around this grand era q radiant glow.
That out to the ends of the earth shall be seen
The glorious spirit of nineteen-seventeen!
The Fourth Of July, oh. the Fourth Of July.
What glorious treasures our valor may buy,
If we, N fulnllment of all 1t portends,
VIII give all our efforts to ufther Its ends:
To war not with peoples. but light savage lords
Who threaten our freedom with slavery's hofdes;
With Wilson to labor and fight to the day
when God and His angels the battle shall stay!
