Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 2

GOD SAVE OUR PRESIDENT FROM EVERY HARM
Copyright. 1881. by Harrison Millard.

Our Nation lives, Columbia's child,
The beacon-light of glory!
Thro' sombre grief-thro' breakers wide,
It tells proud Freedom's story!
Our Ruler trusted-brave and wise,
Our flag without a stain!
We hail beneath yon vaulted skies,
Jehovah still doth reign!

Chorus.
God save our President from every harm!
Shield and protect him with Thy mighty arm;
Guide him in every act. Thou Lord of us all;
Send him prosperity-sustain, lest he fall!
Send him prosperity, on Thee we call,
God save our President from every harm.

Our starry flag still floats on high,
The Nation's emblem cherish'd!
With field of blue to match the sky,
Where not a star has perished;
In Songs of joy-'mid trials sore,
We hail its folds again!
Praise be to Him forever more,
Jehovah still doth reign!

Chorus.
God save our President; watch o'er his life;
Firm may He guide us on thro' every strife;
Rule then his judgment still. Thou Ruler benign'
Strengthen him evermore, with Thy strength divine,
Strengthen him evermore, his heart be Thine!
God save our President from every harm.

O land of Washington's renown.
And Lincoln's pure devotion.
Where laurel wreaths lov'd Garfield crown,
From ocean unto ocean,
Lift up vour voices-grand and free
In unison again!
The Guardian of our Liberty.
Jehovah still doth reign!

CHorus.
God save our President, we humbly pray!
Lord of all nations, oh, be Thou his stay!
Hear us with one aclaim, we cry unto Thee.
Keep Thou our leader true, where'er he may be.
Keep Thou our leader true-from error free'
God save our President from every harm.
