Text:Hail to America.
Author:W. H. Davenport
Tune:[Hail to America, friend of the nations]
Composer:Chas. H. Gabriel

185. Hail to America.

1 Hail to America, friend of the nations;
Empire of liberty, manhood, and right;
Guarding with loyalty freedom's fair stations;
Long let her banner wave, spotless and free.

Chorus:
Hail to America,
Herald her praise afar!
Hail! ev'ry stripe and star!
Fair freedom's land!

2 Hail! fair America, prairies and mountains,
Caverns and canyons vast, matchless and grand!
Homes safely girded by wisdom's free fountains,
Guarded by heroes from freedom's fair land. [Chorus]

3 Father of Liberty, gracious and glorious,
God whom our fathers loved, be Thou our King;
Thou shalt our Leader be, ever victorious;
Long let Thy praise o'er America ring. [Chorus]
