| Welcome a shout like the war trumpet's swell | D |
| Wakes the wild echoes that slumber around | E |
| Welcome it quivers from Liberty's bell | D |
| Welcome the walls of her temple resound | E |

| Fade the far voices o'er hillside and dell | D |
| Welcome still whisper the echoes around | E |
| Welcome I still trembles on Liberty's bell | D |

| Thrones of the continents isles of the sea | F |
| Yours are the garlands of peace we entwine | G |
| Welcome once more to the land of the free | F |
| Shadowed alike by the pahn and the pine | G |
| Softly they murmur the palm and the pine | G |
| 'Hushed is our strife in the land of the free' | F |
| Over your children their branches entwine | G |
| Thrones of the continents isles of the sea | F |
