FREEDOM'S STAR.
Hail, Star of Freedom, hail!
Whose splendor ne'er shall fail,
In peace or war;
Long shall thy golden ray
O'er these blessed regions play,
While millions own the sway
Of Freedom's Star.
Whose splendor ne'er shall fail,
In peace or war;
Long shall thy golden ray
O'er these blessed regions play,
While millions own the sway
Of Freedom's Star.
Our sires, a pilgrim band,
Who sought this promised land,
From realms afar,
Spurned fell oppression's sway,
And dared the pathless way,
Led by the golden ray
Of Freedom's Star.
Who sought this promised land,
From realms afar,
Spurned fell oppression's sway,
And dared the pathless way,
Led by the golden ray
Of Freedom's Star.

Their sons, with kindred flame,
Have earned an equal fame,
In peace and war!
Determined to be free,
Have fought by land and sea,
Led on to victory,
By Freedom's Star!
Have earned an equal fame,
In peace and war!
Determined to be free,
Have fought by land and sea,
Led on to victory,
By Freedom's Star!
Beneath her temple's dome,
Here wanderers find a home
From realms afar!
Blest in their happy choice,
Here will they long rejoice,
And with united voice,
Hail Freedom's Star!
Here wanderers find a home
From realms afar!
Blest in their happy choice,
Here will they long rejoice,
And with united voice,
Hail Freedom's Star!
