LIBERTY.


Flag of the heroes who left us their glory,


Borne through their battle-felds thunder and flame,
Blazoned in song and illumined in story,


Wav'd DER us all who inherit their fame
Up with our banner bright


Sprinkled with starry light,


Spread its fair embems from mountain to shore,


While through the sounding sky


Loud rings the Nations cry 4 55#


Union and Liberty One evermore!


Light of our armament guide of our Nation,


Pride of her children and honored affair."
Let the wide beams of thy full constellation


Scatter each cloud that would darken star!


Up with our banner bright, etc.


Empire unsceptered! what foe shall assail thee,


Bearing the Standard of Lberty's van?


Think not the God of thy fathers shall fail thee


Striving with men for the birthright of man!


Up with our banner bright, etc.
Yet if by madness and treachery bghted


Dawns the dark hour when the sword thou must draw,
Then with the arms of thy millions united,


Smite the bold traitors to Freedom and Law


Up with our banner bright, etc.


Lord Of the universe! shield us and guide US,


Trusting Thee always, through shadow and sun


Thou hast united us, who shall divide us?


Keep u.s. O keep us, the Many in One


Up with banner bright,


Sprinkled with starry light,


Spread its fair emblems from mountain to shore,


While through the sounding sky


Loud rings the Nations cry


Union and Liberty One evermore!
