I LOVE THEE, COLUMBIA
New National Anthem.
(Dedicated to the People of the
United States.)
I lovo thee, Columbia, fair land of
tho west,
By nature with lavish hand bounte
ously blest:
Thy streams sparkling sllvcr, thy
plains waving gold,
Thy lakes Heaven's mirrors, thy
peaks towering bold;
Where tho palm's sunny leaves greet
the evergreen pine,
And the fruits of tho west and tho
east intertwine.
O refuge from oppression,
Thou home of liberty;
Whose starry banner shelters
Freemen, forever freer
I love theo Columbia, for patriots
died
To wrest thee from tyrants that
justice denied.
Thy sons,bled to save, from disrup
tion and shame,
Thy banner of stars and thy glojy
and fame,
That, still, from thy shores there
may ring o'er the sea
The watchword of freedom, the song
of the free. Chorus.
I love thee, Columbia. In progress
and toil,
In love for thee rival the sons of thy
soil;
From the Lakes to the Gulf, from
Atlantic's wild roar
To majestic Pacific's gold-glistening
shore
Were a foe thee to threaten, thy
name to despise,
Thy sons in invincible ranks would
arise. Chorus.
I love thee, Columbia, and true e'er
to thee,
I'll strive for thy glory, O land of
the free.
May "Justice to all," be thy motto
so brave,
"Where none shall be master, and
none shall be slave."
A nation united, as one we will
stand:
Our hearts pledged to thee, our dear
native land. Chorus.
My own, loved country, O set thou
the goal!
Throughout all the world spread the
reign of thy soul!
O guide thou the nations, and bear
thou the light
To mankind still suff'ring'in bondage
and night
That freedom and peace, with the
blessing 'divine,
Prevail o'er the earth and the glory
be thine! Chorus.
New National Anthem, by Henry
G. Kost.
