Music: Election Hymn -- (J. Ingalls)
Join, join in tuneful strains,
To praise our God most high,
At whose command earth rose,
And worlds above the sky,
His sov'reign word gave nature birth
And form'd all things in heav'n and earth.
Warren, on Bunker's Hill,
Mercer, on Princeton's Plain,
Montgomery, at Quebec,
Lie with the mighty slain.
High angels guard each Hero's tomb,
And on their breasts may flowerets bloom.
Hail, deathless Washington!
Columbia's pride and boast,
Whose name a bulwark prov'd,
Whose counsel was a host.
Thy name embalm'd in every heart
Shall long survive the works of art.
