The New Hampshire Gazette

The following has been sung on the boards of Philadelphia. Every man of the least musical talents, ought to learn it, and sing it to his fellow-citizens.

NEW SONG.

Hail Columbia! happy land!

Hail ye heroes, heaven 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

Enjoyed the Peace your valour won--

Let independence be our boast,

Ever mindful what it cost;

Ever grateful for the prize,

Let its altar reach the skies.

Firm, united let us be,

Rallying round our liberty,

As a band of brothers join'd,

Peace and safety we shall find.

Immortal Patriots! rise once more,

Defend your rights, defend your shore

Let no rude foe with impious hand,

Let no rude foe with impious hand,

Invade the shrine where sacred lies,

Of toil and blood, the well earn'd prize.

While offering peace, sincere and just,

In Heav'n we fix a manly trust,

That truth and justice will prevail,

And every scheme of bondage fail---

Firm, united let us be,

Rallying, &c. &c.

Sound, sound the trump of Fame,

Let WASHINGTON's great name

Ring thro' the world with loud applause.

Ring thro' the world with loud applause,

Let every clime to freedom dear,

Listen with a joyful ear,

With equal skill, with godlike pow'rs,

He governs in the fearful hour

Of horrid war. or guides with ease,

The happier times of honest peace.

Firm, united let us be,

Rallying, &c. &c.

Behold the Chief who now commands,

Once more to serve his country stands

The Rock on which the storm will beat,

The Rock on which the storm will beat,

But arm'd in virtue, firm and true,

His hopes are fix'd on Heaven and YOU

When hope was sinking in dismay,

When glooms obscur'd Columbia's day;

His steady mind, from changes free,

Resolv'd on Death or Liberty.

Firm, united let us be,

Rallying, &c. &c.
