Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHHIIJJKK EELLMMNNOOPPQQRR| THE day's sharp strife is ended now | A |
| Our work is done God knoweth how | A |
| As on the thronged unrestful town | B |
| The patience of the moon looks down | B |
| I wait to hear beside the wire | C |
| The voices of its tongues of fire | C |
| Slow doubtful faint they seem at first | D |
| Be strong my heart to know the worst | D |
| Hark there the Alleghanies spoke | E |
| That sound from lake and prairie broke | E |
| That sunset gun of triumph rent | F |
| The silence of a continent | G |
| That signal from Nebraska sprung | H |
| This from Nevada's mountain tongue | H |
| Is that thy answer strong and free | I |
| O loyal heart of Tennessee | I |
| What strange glad voice is that which calls | J |
| From Wagner's grave and Sumter's walls | J |
| From Mississippi's fountain head | K |
| A sound as of the hisoh's tread | K |
| There rustled freedom's Charter Oak | E |
| In that wild burst the Ozarks spoke | E |
| Cheer answers cheer from rise to set | L |
| Of sun We have a country yet | L |
| The praise O God be thine alone | M |
| Thou givest not for bread a stone | M |
| Thou hast not led us through the night | N |
| To blind us with returning light | N |
| Not through the furnace have we passed | O |
| To perish at its mouth at last | O |
| O night of peace thy flight restrain | P |
| November's moon be slow to wane | P |
| Shine on the freedman's cabin floor | Q |
| On brows of prayer a blessing pour | Q |
| And give with full assurance blest | R |
| The weary heart of Freedom rest | R |
