Long live fair Liberty,
Honor and Peace she brings--
Peace to our well-loved land,
Honor to mankind.
Freedom all glorious in God’s own gift to all,
We will fight; we may die,
But right shall ever stand.
O God Almighty, O God of Heaven,
Uphold with mighty hand,
Fair Freedom’s name and cause!
O may the day soon come
When peace on earth is won
All strife and hate be past.
Truth and right defended
Right shall reign glorious--all men shall hear its call.
Truth shall rise; Right prevail
And peace at last shall come.
O God Almighty, O heav’nly Father,
Uphold with mighty hand,
Fair Freedom’s name and cause!
_GREECE_:
Doubt not that my sons will acquit themselves as did their fathers “on
old Plataea’s day.” They are
“True as the steel of their tried blades,
Heroes in heart and hand,
The sons of sires who conquered there,
With arm to strike and soul to dare,
As quick, as far as they.”
_BRITAIN_:
Ah, my Sister, may ye prove to the world that “the glory that was
Greece” still abides with thy sons.
_FRANCE_:
Still others come to join us. From the frozen North, from the sunny
South, and from the far East they come.
_BELGIUM_:
What of the West? What of America--the great, the strong, the free--is
she coming?
_FRANCE_:
Not yet.
