Rejoice, Columbia! fair in charms of youth,
Firm in thy trust—th' eternal rock of truth—
Shrink not from trials, nor to suff'rings yield,
The Lord, thy God, will guard thee with his shield—
Of thy high destinies the call attend,
That bids thy sway with time and nature end;
Thy splendours grow with each increasing year,
And distant nations guide in freedom's great career.
Firm in thy trust—th' eternal rock of truth—
Shrink not from trials, nor to suff'rings yield,
The Lord, thy God, will guard thee with his shield—
Of thy high destinies the call attend,
That bids thy sway with time and nature end;
Thy splendours grow with each increasing year,
And distant nations guide in freedom's great career.
