’Tis the province of thee,

Being sons of the Free,

To combat with tyrants, ’tis Freedom’s decree:

From the forge, from the mines, from the anvil we call

Working-men, sons of toil! ’tis thy right

To combat with those who would labor enthrall,

And be foremost of all in the fight;

From workshops and fields,

Come, Labor, reveal

Honest faces which oil, smoke, and dust can’t conceal,
