The many in one, the sure tie forged by freedom.
How sing fit praise? how raise the pæan?
Say ye who love her.
How of true hearts breathe the single devotion—
A song empyrean?
Mingle a voice from strong souls the land over,
Voices of maidens, wives, husbands and lovers,
A voice from the sea—
Chaunting deep faith in the nation of freemen!
Forever to be!
