in - de - pen- dence be our boast, Ev - er mindful what it cost;
off-'ring peace sin- cere and just, In heav'n we place a man-ly trust, That

hope was sink-ing in dis - may, And glooms obscur'd Columbia's day, His
Ev - er grate- ful for the prize. Let its al - tar reach the skies!
truth and jus - tice will pre - vail, And ev - 'ry scheme of bond-age fail,
hor - rid war; or guides with ease The hap-pier times of hon - est peace,
stead-y mind, from changes free. Re - solv'd on death or lib - er - ty.
Firm, u - ni - ted, let us be, Rally-ing round our lib - er - ty;
Firm, u - ni - ted, let us be, Rally-ing round our lib - er - ty;
Firm, u - ni - ted, let us be, Rally-ing round our lib - er - ty;
Firm, u - ni - ted, let us be, Rally-ing round our lib - er - ty;
As a band of broth-ers join'd, Peace and safe-ty we shall find.
As a band of broth-ers join'd, Peace and safe-ty we shall find.
As a band of broth-ers join'd, Peace and safe-ty we shall find.
As a band of broth-ers join'd, Peace and safe-ty we shall find.
