Sons of freedom, all rejoice 1 We again lift up our voice, Make the upper regions ring With the tribute which we bring, All united, we agree, Hail! The New Year Jubilee. Sing aloud ! 'tis heaven's due, Sing we in the spirit too. Lo! our country still is free, May she thus for ever be ! May her youthful patriots, we, Hail our nation's Jubilee.
From our foes we will not fly, Watch! for enemies are nigh; Moral evils wait around, And alarming they are found; Rum's foul spirit leads the van, Him to conquer, on—we can ! We our country's future stay, Let us walk in wisdom's way, Early seek and find the Lord, Live according to his word. Thus we gain a heav'n of love, Sing a Jubilee above. |

O
N this joyous day, while the cannon's loud voice, From every green hill top,like thunder is breaking; And music's soft strains upon ocean and shore, In each throbbing bosom fresh ardor is waking, |
