To adequately glorify
The man whose praise sing:
But can pipe my feeble Lutte.
Tho OF the best I fail.
To him who's always on the job
The man who brings the mail.
His back is strong, his shoulders broad.
His smile Is glad and bright,
AS on his worldwide mission he
Is bent from morn till night;
His whistle brings quick response
Perhaps 1t is check!
Their doors and rubls,rneck!
He Is messenger OF peac,
harbinger CT strife
He bears message from ones love,
A roasting from ones wife:
Both billet due and bills of due
He scatters far and wide
He chucks one In to your chagrn,
The other to your pride
And I cannot help but sing
The praises Of the man
Who ministers to all the world
AS mons but postmcn can;..... -. -.
And here's the toast drink to him:
May fortune never fail
To slip the grip of comradeshp
TO him who brings the mail.

Land of the patriots birth,
1l1ustrious DER the earth,
Where manhood counts and worth
God bless to-day
@ land without a peer,
Thy nam, to us Is dear,
Almost divine:
The memories Of our sires,
Their sacrificial py,'es,
Thy purifying fires
Our hearts enshrine.
Columbia dearly loved,
Thy title nobly proved
In blood and flame;
Thy children rally now,
On Bonded knee they bow
To swear solemn vow
In thy great name.
A tyrants foot hath trod
Upon thy sacred sod
Our fathers saved.
Worse chains than steel are forged
Thy valiant race Is scourged;
The funeral march Is dirged:
Thy sons enslaved +;
Thou God of battles, aid!
God OF the unafraid
Our Leader be!
Father Of liberty
Ride on in MAJESTY;
