| Fling to the winds your needless fears | B |
| He who unfurl'd your beauteous banner | C |
| Says it shall wave a thousand years | B |

| A thousand years my own Columbia | D |
| 'Tis the glad day so long foretold | E |
| 'Tis the glad morn whose early twilight | F |
| Washington saw in times of old | E |

| Rebels at home go hide your faces | K |
| Weep for your crimes with bitter tears | L |
| You could not bind the blessed daylight | F |
| Though you should strive a thousand years | B |
| - | |
| Back to your dens ye secret traitors | M |
| Down to your own degraded spheres | B |
| Ere the first blaze of dazzling sunshine | N |
| Shortens your lives a thousand years | B |
| - | |
| Haste thee along this glorious Noonday | F |
| Oh for the eyes of ancient seers | J |
| Oh for the faith of Him who reckons | O |
| Each of his days a thousand years | B |
