Fourth of July Lyrics
Lyrics
While the
storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's
free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer:
God Bless America.
Land that I love
Stand beside her, and guide her
Through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America
My home sweet home.
God Bless America,
Land that I love
Stand beside her,
And guide her,
Through the night
With the light from above,
From the mountains,
To the prairies,
To the ocean,
White with foam,
God bless America,
My home sweet home.
God bless America,
My home sweet home.
Battle Cry Of Freedom
As the name strongly suggests, this is a
patriotic song written by American composer
George F. Root (1825–1895) in 1862 during
the Civil War of America. Preaching the
cause of the Union, this song gripped the
public mind so powerfully that composer H.
L. Schreiner and lyricist W. H. Barnes later
adapted it for the Confederacy. It was also
used as the campaign song for the United
States Republican Party in the election of
1864.
Lyrics
Chorus (Union version)
The Union forever, hurrah! boys, hurrah!
Down with the traitors, up with the stars;
While we rally round the flag, boys, rally
once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
Chorus (Confederate version)
Our Dixie forever, she's never at a loss
Down with the eagle, up with the cross.
We'll rally round the bonnie flag, we'll
rally once again.
Shout, shout the battle cry of freedom.
Chorus (1864 election campaign)
For Lincoln and Johnson, hurrah, boys,
hurrah!
Down with the rebellion and on with the war,
While we rally round the cause, boys, we'll
rally in our might,
Singing the holy cause of freemen.
