[Verse 1]
Na-tion's choice fav'-rite chief,
Hail Thee! in tri-umph
we now greet Thee the man,
we be-lieve, de-fends our rights
brave-ly in-deed.

[Verse 2]
With Thy cou-rage, yea, and hon-est-y,
fea-tures of Thy soul,
The great Re-pub-lic's sub-lim-i-ty,
safe Thou willst en-roll.

[Verse 3]
Glo-ry, end-less, to the na-tion bring,
with Thy rul-ing hand,
On-ward we'll soar with trust in thy wing,
through Col-um-bia's land.
