The Flag of Columbia Shall Float O'er Us Still

«The Flag of Columbia Shall Float O’er us Still»
1. O Land of Columbia how glorious the sight
When millions of freemen rise up in their might
To battle for Union and Liberty’s cause
And aid in the defending thy time-honor'd laws;
«The Union it must and shall be preserved»
Was said by a sage who from duty ne’er swerved;
So we say, let traitors decide what they will
The flag of Columbia shall float o’er us still
Shall float o’er us still, shall float o’er us still
The flag of Columbia shall float o’er us still
2. Our watchword in battle, when ever we fight
Is «Freedom and Union» and «God speed the right»;
Each day brings us wisdom and strength to withstand
The Whole world together, if foe to our land;
«United we stand, divided we fall»
Was said by a patriot well known to us all;
So we say…
3. The monarchs of Europe may well stand aghast
And own that the day of their tyranny’s past;
Oppression shall vanish and peoples be freed
They call on us now in the hour of their need;
«The Union of States th’enforcement of laws»
Will prove to the world that Heaven blesses our cause
And we say…
