歌词
作曲 : Ira Clark Jr.
His country's glory, hope and stay,
In virtues and in talents tried;
Now rises to assume the sway,
O'er freedom's temple to preside.
Rejoice, Columbia's sons, rejoice!
To tyrants never bend your knee,
But join with heart, and soul, and voice,
For Jefferson and Liberty!
O'er vast Columbia's varied clime
Her cities, forests, shores, and dales;
In riding majesty, sublime,
Immortal liberty prevails.
Rejoice, Columbia's sons, rejoice!
To tyrants never bend your knee,
But join with heart, and soul, and voice,
For Jefferson and Liberty!
Here strangers from a thousand shores
Compell'd by tyranny to roam;
Shall find, amidst abundant stores,
A nobler and a happier home.
Rejoice, Columbia's sons, rejoice!
To tyrants never bend your knee,
But join with heart, and soul, and voice,
For Jefferson and Liberty!
