(_Glorious Apollo._)
Goddess of FREEDOM from on high behold us,
While thus we dedicate to thee our lays;
Long in thy cause hath principle enroll’d us,
Here, to thy name, a monument we raise.
Thus then combining, heart and voice joining,
Sing we in harmony to FREEDOM’s praise.
Here ev’ry gen’rous sentiment awaking
Zeal that inspir’d our patriots of yore;
Each pledge of Freedom giving and partaking,
Join we our bleeding country to restore.
Thus then combining, heart and voice joining,
Send the shouts of LIBERTY from shore to shore.
