victor herbert - columbia lyrics

Loading...

while freedom guides exultingly
the g+nius of our country’s fame
let no fell breath of tyranny
bedim the l+stre of her name;
else fired by patriotic zeal
our guerdon ev’ry freemans right
with common woe and common weal
we’ll battle for columbia’s might

we’ll fight for the right, fair columbia
thou art mother, thou art goddess, thou art shrine;
ever be our proudest boast
and our never failing toast
heart and soul, and good right arm were ever thine
columbia! columbia! thou’rt goddess, mother, shrine
columbia! columbia! our strong right arms arе thine

while braggart foeman flaunts his powеr
let no born freeman’s pulse be still;
for in his country’s dark’ning hour
her glory ev’ry nerve must thrill
from sea to sea, from gulf to lake
from valley deep to mountain high
let freedom’s sons again awake
columbia to defend or die
we’ll fight for the right, fair columbia
thou art mother, thou art goddess, thou art shrine;
ever be our proudest boast
and our never failing toast
heart and soul, and good right arm were ever thine
columbia! columbia! thou’rt goddess, mother, shrine
columbia! columbia! our strong right arms are thine

while purpled thralldom’s heavy chains
defile the heritage of kings;
while sceptres gall a bondman’s pains
beside the land where freedom sings:
then must columbia’s heart and hand
demand that tyranny must cease
or win for that crown+ridden land
eternal liberty and peace

we’ll fight for the right, fair columbia
thou art mother, thou art goddess, thou art shrine;
ever be our proudest boast
and our never failing toast
heart and soul, and good right arm were ever thine
columbia! columbia! thou’rt goddess, mother, shrine
columbia! columbia! our strong right arms are thine

there came a cry across the deep
wailed from a bondage+burdened land
to rouse from freedom’s golden sleep
the succor of a brother’s hand
to arms the blue! to arms the grey!
march onward to that southern sea;
columbia wrests from cruel sway
a fettered race that would be free
we’ll fight for the right, fair columbia
thou art mother, thou art goddess, thou art shrine;
ever be our proudest boast
and our never failing toast
heart and soul, and good right arm were ever thine
columbia! columbia! thou’rt goddess, mother, shrine
columbia! columbia! our strong right arms are thine
