Union March
Rise, Columbia rise! For peace hath lost its charms!
Hark from afar,
The clang of war!
Insulting foes
Your rights oppose:
Rise, Columbia rise! 'Tis freedom calls to arms!
Hark from afar,
The clang of war!
Insulting foes
Your rights oppose:
Rise, Columbia rise! 'Tis freedom calls to arms!
Rise, Columbia rise! Let union arm your bands.
From east to west,
Her high behest,
Let all obey:
In dread array
Rise, Columbia rise! 'Tis freedom's voice commands.
From east to west,
Her high behest,
Let all obey:
In dread array
Rise, Columbia rise! 'Tis freedom's voice commands.
Rise Columbia, rise! At freedom's sacred shrine,
Your vows renew:
Swear to be true
To Liberty!
And still be free!
Rise, Columbia rise! Be death or freedom thine.
Your vows renew:
Swear to be true
To Liberty!
And still be free!
Rise, Columbia rise! Be death or freedom thine.
