Air—The Star-Spangled Banner.
Oh God bless our land, and united once more,
May we gather true wisdom from war’s desolation;
From the thick curling smoke, and the fierce cannon’s roar,
Let peace in her beauty rise and smile on our nation;
To show to the world that peace is unfurled,
And war from Columbia forever is hurled,
CHORUS.
That the proud Ark of Freedom, with bold, trusty crew,
Still sails ’neath the banner of the Red, White and Blue.
