My native country, thee, Thy name I love. I love thy rocks and rills, Let music swell the breeze, Let mortal tongues awake, Our fathers' God! To Thee, To thee we sing. Long may our land be bright, Protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King! (b) Battle Hymn of the Republic. BY JULIA WARD HOWE. 1. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on. CHORUS. Glory! glory! Hallelujah! Glory! glory! Hallelujah! Glory! glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. 2. 3. 4. I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps; I have read a fiery gospel, writ in burnished rows of steel: He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; Chorus. 5. In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born across the sea, Chorus. 2. 3. Thy banners make tyranny tremble, When war wing'd its wide desolation, The boast of the red, white and blue; The star-spangled banner bring hither; But hold to their colors so true; The Army and Navy for ever! Three cheers for the red, white and blue! Three cheers for the red, white and blue! 1 The Army and Navy for ever! Three cheers for the red, white and blue! (e) Star Spangled Banner. BY FRANCIS SCOTT KEYES. 1. Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, 2. What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming; Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep, Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, 'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh, long may it wave 3. And where is that band who so vauntingly swore A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution! And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave §§27-29] VERSES AND PLAYS 4. Oh, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave 29 J. [§28] WAR PLAYS.
