Hail Columbia (исполнитель: Гимн США До 1931 года (Де-Факто))
1. Hail Columbia, happy land! Hail, ye heroes, heav’n-born band, Who fought and bled in freedom’s cause, Who fought and bled in freedom’s cause, And when the storm of war was gone Enjoy’d the peace your valor won. Let independence be our boast, Ever mindful what it cost; Ever grateful for the prize, Let its altar reach the skies. [bad word] Firm, united let us be, Rallying round our liberty, As a band of brothers joined, Peace and safety we shall find. 2. Immortal patriots, rise once more, Defend your rights, defend your shore! Let [bad word] foe, with impious hand, Let [bad word] foe, with impious hand, Invade the shrine where sacred lies Of toil and blood, the well-earned prize, While off’ring peace, sincere and just, In Heaven’s we place a manly [bad word] That [bad word] and justice will prevail, And every scheme of bondage fail. [bad word] 3. Behold the chief who [bad word] Once more to serve his country stands. The rock on which the storm will break, The rock on which the storm will break, But armed in virtue, firm, and [bad word] His hopes are fixed on Heav’n and you. When hope was sinking in dismay, When glooms obscured Columbia’s day, His steady mind, from changes free, Resolved on death or liberty. [bad word] 4. Sound, sound the [bad word] of fame, Let Washington’s great fame Ring through the world with loud applause, Ring through the world with loud applause, Let ev’ry clime to freedom dear, Listen with a joyful ear, With equal skill, with God-like pow’r He governs in the fearful hour Of horrid war, or guides with ease The happier time of honest peace.
