[Verse 1]

All Hail to the Union so gloriously bright,

 No cloud can obscure the pure beautiful light,

A gem ’mid the nations, a “pearl of great price;”

Oh, for such a treasure make some sacrifice.

Oh, for such a treasure make some sacrifice.

[Chorus]

Then three cheers for the Union, Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

All hail to the Union forever and aye.

[Verse 2]

Let bear and forbear be our watchword thro’ life, 

Let true Christian fellowship, end all the strife,

With Hands join’d in hands, then as onward we go, 

We’ll stand by the Union, come weal or come woe.

We’ll stand by the Union, come weal or come woe.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

We know neither North, South, the East or the West, 

We know ’tis Columbia, the land we love best, 

Bequeath’d by our fathers a rich heritage,

Achiev’d by great Washington, patriot and sage.

Achiev’d by great Washington, patriot and sage.

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]

May no hasty action cause us to forego,

This glorious Union, oh! never, oh! no! 

No! Haste to the rescue, come one and come all, 

United we stand, but divided we fall.

United we stand, but divided we fall.

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]

Wild Anarchy’s wail shall no more us affright,

But do unto all men whatever is right,

A national brotherhood, upright and just, 

With this for our motto, in God is our trust.

With this for our motto, in God is our trust.

[Chorus]
