Where Liberty dwells is my country;
There, only there; there, only there;
Where Liberty dwells is my country;
There, and only there.
[A] Though storms should howl around her,
And skies be overcast,
And the good ship seem just to founder,
Still, boys, we give to the blast:
Chorus.—Where Liberty dwells, etc.
That land; we will defend her,
While floats our flag on high;
Our motto is, “Never surrender,”
Fight till we conquer or die. [Chorus.
That star-sprent flag once covered
Our Washington, the blest;
That eagle victorious has hovered
Long o’er our bravest and best. [Chorus.
And know, there’s One who never
Bids a good cause go down;
God reigns, and His favor is ever
With us—with our foes, His frown. [Chorus.
Sing, then; bid those who love us,
Join in our song so free;
The heavens are smiling above us,
Success, peace and liberty. [Chorus.
