philip phile - hail columbia lyrics

Loading...

(verse 1)
hail columbia, happy land!
hail, ye heroes, heav’n+born band
who fought and bled in freedom’s cause
who fought and bled in freedom’s cause
and when the storm of war was gone
enjoy’d the peace your valor won
let independence be our boast
ever mindful what it cost;
ever grateful for the prize
let its altar reach the skies

(chorus)
firm, united let us be
rallying round our liberty
as a band of brothers joined
peace and safety we shall find

(verse 2)
immortal patriots, rise once more
defend your rights, defend your shore!
let no rude foe, with impious hand
let no rude foe, with impious hand
invade the shrine where sacred lies
of toil and blood, the well+earned prize
while off’ring peace, sincere and just
in heaven’s we place a manly trust
that truth and justice will prevail
and every scheme of bondage fail

(chorus)
firm, united let us be
rallying round our liberty
as a band of brothers joined
peace and safety we shall find

(verse 3)
behold the chief who now commands
once more to serve his country stands
the rock on which the storm will break
the rock on which the storm will break
but armed in virtue, firm, and true
his hopes are fixed on heav’n and you
when hope was sinking in dismay
when glooms obscured columbia’s day
his steady mind, from changes free
resolved on death or liberty

(chorus)
firm, united let us be
rallying round our liberty
as a band of brothers joined
peace and safety we shall find

(verse 4)
sound, sound the trump of fame
let washington’s great fame
ring through the world with loud applause
ring through the world with loud applause
let ev’ry clime to freedom dear
listen with a joyful ear
with equal sk!ll, with god+like pow’r
he governs in the fearful hour
of horrid war, or guides with ease
the happier time of honest peace

(chorus)
firm, united let us be
rallying round our liberty
as a band of brothers joined
peace and safety we shall find
