GOD SAVE  AMERICA

God save us__from ev-'ry foe,
And guard our free - dom __as we grow;
Ex - alt our na - tion_ high on earth,
First in wis - dom, First in worth.

Send us the fruis of ev - 'ry clime,
And ge - niel sea-sons on us shine.
That peace and plen-ty, that peace and plen - ty
Co - lum - bia,__ ev - er may be thine.

When our glo - ry is ze - nith high,
A cloud - less fame__a - dorn our sky;
And Ty - rant gloom__ex - pel the night
that ris - ing_ rea-son the world may light.

And ev -'ry na - tion blest may be,
To trace they steps and act like thee,
Great and free, Great and free, 
Co - lum - bia's__ char-ter by land and sea.
