| We can thy voices hear | B |
| And painful is their tone and free | A |
| Upon each brother's ear | B |
| - | |
| We hear each voice pitch'd strong and high | C |
| And could we see you now | D |
| Our hearts would heave another sigh | C |
| At each beclouded brow | D |
| - | |
| We hear thy voice from day to day | E |
| In one long doleful strain | F |
| Oh tell us why oh brethren say | E |
| Why sounds that voice of pain | F |

| Are we not one in race and creed | G |
| Rul'd by one gracious queen | H |
| And we have all receiv'd our meed | G |
| Of praise and pelf I ween | H |
| - | |
| Why vex her now who's rul'd so long | I |
| Upon her virtuous throne | H |
| Why sing her such a doleful song | I |

| Who wisely drew love's slender thread | G |
| And wedded us in one | H |

| And firmer yet he wish'd to bind | G |
| Us to our country's weal | J |
| And see plann'd by his master mind | G |
| One band of glitt'ring steel | J |
| - | |
| One shining track which stretches far | K |
| From wild Columbia's shore | L |
| To where those doleful voices are | K |
| And the Atlantic's roar | L |
| - | |
| Oh brethren friends down by the sea | A |
| With us your voices raise | M |
| Instead of groans oh shout with glee | A |
| With us one shout of praise | M |
| - | |
| And trust him brethren trust us too | G |
| Seek not from us to go | N |
| Our country's good is weal for you | G |
| And common all our woe | N |
