lirik lagu richard mitchley - ode for the 4th of july by james monroe whitfield
another year has passed away
and brings again the glorious day
when freedom from her slumber woke
and broke the british tyrant’s yoke —
unfurled her standard to the air
in gorgeous beauty, bright and fair —
pealed forth the sound of war’s alarms
and called her patriot sons to arms!
they rushed, inspired by freedom’s name
to fight for liberty and fame;
to meet the mercenary band
and drive them from their native land
almighty god! grant us, we pray
the self~same spirit on this day
that, through the storm of battle, then
did actuate those patriot men!
may those great truths which they maintained
through years of deadly strife and toil
be by their children well sustained
till slavery ceases on our soil —
till every wrong shall be redressed
and every bondman be set free;
and from the north, south, east and west
peans shall rise to liberty
may that same god whose ægis led
our patriot sires on bunker’s height
shed the same blessings on our head
the heroes of a n0bler fight —
a fight not waged by fire and sword
and quenched in gore and human blood
but only by that sacred word
the mandate of almighty god
our cause is love, our weapon truth
our ally is the living god;
matron and maiden, sire and youth
shall feel the power of his rod
pr~ne to the dust, shall slavery fall
and all its withering influence die
while liberty, the boon of all
shall swell through earth, and air, and sky
