American Old Time Song Lyrics: 12 Hail To The Statue Of Liberty

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 12

Hail to the Statue of Liberty.

Hail to the Statue of Liberty!
Shining its welcome afar;
Freedom's proud, glorious beacon,
Bright as a pure, fadeless star!
Long shall it greet every stranger
Unto the shores of the free;
Still shall the message it brings us,
Deathless in memory be!
Hail to the Statue of Liberty!
Welcome its giver so grand!
Long shall the name of Bartholdi
Live in the hearts of our land!

Hail to the Statue of Liberty!
Ever its light shed around
Freedom and progress unfading!
Fair gleam its torch, glory-crowned!
Still may our hearts be united,
France, in one purpose so grand!
Ever our hands be entwining
In friendship, thou bright sunny land!
Hail to the Statue of Liberty!
Welcome its giver so true;
Long shall the fame of Bartholdi
Live 'neath the red, white and blue!

Hail to the Statue of Liberty!
Echoed from sea unto sea
Freedom's proud chorus forever
Wherever its children shall be!
Proud may our lips tell the story
To those who shall follow us here,
Of how it was brought to our harbor
In freedom's name honored and dear!
Hail to the Statue of Liberty!
Welcome its donor so grand!
Long shall the fame of Bartholdi
Live in the hearts of our land!
