- Hail Columbia, happy land!
- Hail, ye heroes, heav'n-born band,
- Who fought and bled in freedom's cause,
- Who fought and bled in freedom's cause,
- And when the storm of war was gone
- Enjoy'd the peace your valor won.
- Let independence be our boast,
- Ever mindful what it cost;
- Ever grateful for the prize,
- Let its altar reach the skies.
- Chorus
- Firm, united let us be,
- Rallying round our liberty,
- As a band of brothers joined,
- Peace and safety we shall find.
- Immortal patriots, rise once more,
- Defend your rights, defend your shore!
- Let no rude foe, with impious hand,
- Let no rude foe, with impious hand,
- Invade the shrine where sacred lies
- Of toil and blood, the well-earned prize,
- While off'ring peace, sincere and just,
- In Heaven's we place a manly trust,
- That truth and justice will prevail,
- And every scheme of bondage fail.
- Chorus
- Firm, united let us be,
- Rallying round our liberty,
- As a band of brothers joined,
- Peace and safety we shall find.
- Sound, sound the trump of fame,
- Let Washington's great name
- Ring through the world with loud applause,
- Ring through the world with loud applause,
- Let ev'ry clime to freedom dear,
- Listen with a joyful ear,
- With equal skill, with God-like pow'r
- He governs in the fearful hour
- Of horrid war, or guides with ease
- The happier times of honest peace.
- Chorus
- Firm, united let us be,
- Rallying round our liberty,
- As a band of brothers joined,
- Peace and safety we shall find.
- Behold the chief who now commands,
- Once more to serve his country stands.
- The rock on which the storm will break,
- The rock on which the storm will break,
- But armed in virtue, firm, and true,
- His hopes are fixed on Heav'n and you.
- When hope was sinking in dismay,
- When glooms obscured Columbia's day,
- His steady mind, from changes free,
- Resolved on death or liberty.
- Chorus
- Firm, united let us be,
- Rallying round our liberty,
- As a band of brothers joined,
- Peace and safety we shall find.
