VERSE ONE:
In Eighteen-two, Columbia Greeted
The radiance of a rising sun
That yet with vigor undepleted,
Pursues the journey there begun. |
CHORUS:
And on its rays we proudly gaze
And Join in singing hearty praise
To Philolexian's immortal sun
And on its rays we proudly gaze
And Join in singing hearty praise
To Philolexian's immortal sun |
VERSE TWO:
There's plentiful illumination
In treasured rolls of years gone by;
We've not refused to light the nation
Nor share the Radiance of our sky |
CHORUS:
And on its rays we proudly gaze
And Join in singing hearty praise
To Philolexian's immortal sun
And on its rays we proudly gaze
And Join in singing hearty praise
To Philolexian's immortal sun |
VERSE THREE:
Then here's to old Columbia; never
May shadows dim her greater light
Nor any machination sever
Our own Light Blue from Blue and White |
CHORUS:
And on its rays we proudly gaze
And Join in singing hearty praise
To Philolexian's immortal sun
And on its rays we proudly gaze
And Join in singing hearty praise
To Philolexian's immortal sun |
