Rally Song

Come, let us join this festal lay⁠—

Hurra, Hurra,

Come, let us join this festal lay,

And let our anthems all be gay,

And sing aloud for this glad day

Should brighten every heart:⁠—

We’ll sing of heroes who have fought⁠—

Hurra, Hurra,

We’ll sing of heroes who have fought,

Who to their country’s altar brought,

And on her sacred ensign wrought,

The tree of liberty.

We’ll sing of martyrs who have died⁠—

Hurra, Hurra,

We’ll sing of martyrs who have died,

From severed ranks, as side by side

They bravely stemmed the gory tide.

To ransom brother man.

Our glorious banner’s now unfurled⁠—

Hurra, Hurra,

Our glorious banner’s now unfurled,

May it soon wave o’er all the world,

And every traitor standard hurled

From pinnacle to earth.

With gifted leaders in our van⁠—

Hurra, Hurra,

With gifted leaders in our van,

The bright and noblest of our land,

Let patriots shout, as, hand in hand,

They welcome this glad day.
