Not they the great	A
Who build authority around a State	A
And firm on calumny and party hate	A
Base their ambition Nor the great are they	B
Who with disturbance make their way	B
Mindful of but to day	B
And individual ends that so compel	C
They know not what they do yet do it well	C
Butthey the great	A
Who sacrifice their honor for the State	A
And set their seal	D
Upon the writing consecrate	A
Of time and fate	A
That says 'He suffered for a People's weal	D
Or calm of soul and eye	E
Helped to eliminate	A
The Madness that makes Progress its wild cry	E
And for its policy	F
Self a divinity	F
That on illusions thrives	G
And knows not whither its desire drives	G
Till on the rocks its headlong vessel rives '	H

God of the wise	J
On whom the People wait	A
And who at last all evils wilt abate	A
Make Thou more keen men's eyes	J
Let them behold how Thou at length wilt bring	K
From turmoil and confusion now that cling	K
About the Nation's feet	L
Order and calm and peace	M
With harmony of purpose wing to wing	K
As out of Chaos sprang	N
Light and its co mate Law when loud Thy summons rang	N
High instruments of power never to cease	M
Spirits of destiny	F
Who from their lofty seat	L
Shall put down hate and strife's insanity	F
And all contentions old that eat	L
The country to the quick	O
And Common Sense the Lion Heart now sick	O
Forth from his dungeon cell	D
Go free	F
With Song his bold Blond l	D
And stretching forth a stalwart arm	P
To laboring land and sea	F
With his glad coming warm	Q
The land to one accord one sympathy	F
Of soul whose strength shall stand	R
For something more than gold to all the land	R
Making more sure the ties	J
Of freedom and equality	F
And Progress who unto the watchful skies	J
Unfurls his banner and with challenging hand	R
Leads on the world's emprise	J

God of the just and wise	J
Behold why is it that our mortal eyes	J
Are not more open to the good that lies	J
Around our feet the blessings in disguise	J
That go with us about our daily deeds	S
Attending all our needs	S
Why is it that so rich and prodigal	D
We will complain	T
Of Nature her whose liberal hand	R
Summer and spring and fall	D
Pours out abundance on the Land	R
Cotton and oil and grain	T
O God make men more sane	T
Help them to understand	R
And trust in her who never failed her due	U
Who never camped with Famine and his crew	U
Or made ally	E
Of the wild House of old Calamity	F
But always faithfully	F
Year after generous year	V
From forth her barque of plenty stanch of sail	D
Poured big abundance What did lies avail	D
Or what did fear	V
To make her largess fail They who descry	V
Raising a hue and cry	V
Disaster's Harpies darkening the sky	V
Each month that comes and goes are they not less	W
Of insight than the beasts of hill and field	X
Who take no worry knowing Earth will yield	X
Her usual harvest a sufficiency	F
For all and more yea even enough to bless	W
The sons of Greed who make a market of lies	J
And blacken blessings unto credulous eyes	J
Turning them curses till on every hand	R
They see as Speculation sees	Y
God's benefactions rain and sun and snow	Z
Working destruction in the land	R
The camping ground of old hostilities	Y
Changing all joy to woe	Z
With visitations of her wrath withal	D
Proclaiming her our mother Nature foe	Z
Undeviating to our hopes below	Z
Nature who never yet has failed to bless us all	D

By the long leagues of cotton Texas rolls	A2
And Mississippi bolls	A2
By the wide seas of wheat	L
The far Dakotas beat	L
Against the barriers of the mountainland	L
And by the miles of maize	B2
Nebraska lays	B2
Like a vast carpet in	C2
Her House of Nights and Days	B2
Where glittering in council meet	L
The Spirits of the Cold and Heat	L
With old Fertility whose heart they win	C2
By all the wealth replete	L
Within our scan	D2
From Florida to where the snows begin	C2
Made manifest of Nature unto Man	D2
Behold	L
The Land is as a mighty scroll unrolled	L
Whereon God writes His name	E2
In harvest green and gold	L
And russet making fair as oft of old	L
Each d dal part He decorates the same	E2
With splendors manifold	L
Of mountains and of rivers fruits and flowers	F2
Sealing each passage of the rubric Hours	F2
With esoteric powers	F2
Of life and love and all their mystery	F
Through which men yet may see	F
The truth that shall refute the fool that cries	J
'God has forgot us and our great emprise '	-

Of elemental mold	L
God made our Country wombing her with gold	L
And veining her with copper iron and coal	D
Making her strong for her appointed goal	D
High on her eagled peaks His rainbow gleams	G2
Its mighty message in her mountain streams	G2
His voice is heard and on the wind and rain	T
Ride Potencies	G2
And Portents of His purpose while she dreams	G2
Of great achievements great activities	G2
And weariless of brain	T
From plain to busy plain	T
And peak to plateau with unresting hand	L
Along the laboring land	L
She speeds swift train on train	T
Feeling the urge in her of energies	G2
That bear her business on	H2
From jubilant dawn to dawn	I2
From where the snow makes dumb	J2
Alaskan heights to where like hives of bees	G2
The prairies hum	J2
With cities while around her girdling seas	G2
Ships go and come	J2
Servants and slaves of her vast industries	G2

And He who sits above	Z
And watching sees	G2
Her dreams become great actualities	G2
Out of His love	Z
Will He continue to bestow	L
Blessings upon her even more and more	V
Until their store	V
Shall pass the count of all the dreams we know	L
Why heed	L
The sordid souls that worship Greed	L
The vampire lives that feed	L
Feast and grow fat	L
On what they name the Proletariat	L
Wringing with blood and sweat	L
From forth the nation's muscle heart and brain	T
The strength that keeps her sane	T
They too shall have their day and cease to be	F
Ignoble souls who for a market set	L
Before the People's eyes	G2
A scarecrow train	T
Of fabrications rumors antic lies	G2
Of havoc and calamity	F
Panic appearances of Famine War	V
That for the moment bar	V
The path of Truth and work their selfish gain	T

God of the simple and the wise	G2
Grant us more light and lead	L
The great adventure to its mighty end	L
From Thy o'erarching skies	G2
Still give us heed	L
And make more clear the way that onward lies	G2
Not wealth now is her need	L
The great Republic's Wealth the child of Greed	L
Nay nay O God but for the dream we plead	L
The dream as well as deed	L
The Dream of Beauty which shall so descend	L
From Thee and with her inmost being blend	L
That it shall help her cause	G2
More than all temporal laws	G2

Now for her soul's increase	G2
And spirit's peace	G2
Curb the bright d mon Speed	L
Grant her release	G2
From strife and let the joy that springs	G2
From love of lowly things	G2
Possess her soul and plead	L
For work that counts for something to the heart	L
And grows immortal part	L
Of life the work called Art	L
And let Love lead	L
Her softly all her days with quiet hand	L
Sowing the fruitful land	L
With spiritual seed	L
Of wisdom from which blossoms shall expand	L
Of vital beauty and her fame increase	G2
More than the wealth of all the centuries	G2

God of the wise	G2
The meek and humble who still look to Thee	F
Holding to sanity	F
And truth and purpose of the great emprise	G2
Keep her secure	V
And beautiful and pure	V
As when in ages past Thou didst devise	G2
Saying within Thy heart 'She shall endure	V
A great Republic ' Let her course be sure	V
O God and in detraction's spite	L
Unquestionably right	L
And in the night	L
If night there must be light a beacon light	L
To guide her safely through the strife	Z
The conflict of her soul with passions rife	Z
Oh raise some man of might	L
Whose mind shall put down storm and stress of life	Z
And kindle anew the lamp whose light shall burn	K2
A Pharos in the storms	G2
That shall arise and with confusion shake	L2
Foundations of the walls of Civilization	M2
A pillar of flame behold	L
Like that of old	L
Which Israel followed and its bondage brake	L2
Leading each night lost Nation	M2
To refuge in her arms	G2
Freedom's away from all the Tyrannies	G2
Of all the Centuries	G2
Safe on her heart to learn	K2
To hush its heart's alarms	G2
