We hail the day

inglés

We hail the day—the glorious day
Which gave a nation birth;
Where Freedom could her wand display
Among the powers of earth.

Chorus
All hail—all hail! to th’ Stars and Stripes,
The banner wide unfurled—
Here high amid our mountain sky,
It waves to all the world.

The freedom purchased with the blood
Of our heroic sires,
Will live and bless the Saints of God,
Till wickedness expires.

Chorus
All hail—all hail! to th’ Stars and Stripes,
The banner wide unfurled—
Here high amid our mountain sky,
It waves to all the world.

No foul oppressor here can drive
The bolts of tyranny;
For Utah’s sons are all alive
To truth and liberty.

Chorus
All hail—all hail! to th’ Stars and Stripes,
The banner wide unfurled—
Here high amid our mountain sky,
It waves to all the world.

The patriots’ wreath we proudly wear
Around our temples now;
Unholy hands have sought to tear
Ignobly from our brow.

Chorus
All hail—all hail! to th’ Stars and Stripes,
The banner wide unfurled—
Here high amid our mountain sky,
It waves to all the world.

Foul politicians basely left
Truth, law and justice too—
With their own hands, the Union cleft;
And war and blood ensue.

Chorus
All hail—all hail! to th’ Stars and Stripes,
The banner wide unfurled—
Here high amid our mountain sky,
It waves to all the world.

The Eagle, fled from maddening hosts,
Builds here, her towering nest,
And peace, the boon fair Freedom boasts
Expands her golden crest.

Chorus
All hail—all hail! to th’ Stars and Stripes,
The banner wide unfurled—
Here high amid our mountain sky,
It waves to all the world.

The Constitution’s sacred fold,
With every chartered right;
The Sons of Utah, firmly hold,
And glory in its light.

Chorus
All hail—all hail! to th’ Stars and Stripes,
The banner wide unfurled—
Here high amid our mountain sky,
It waves to all the world.

’Tis ours—’tis ours—the day is ours—
No forfeitures, we’ve made;
But every law from lawful powers,
We’ve loyally obeyed.

Chorus
All hail—all hail! to th’ Stars and Stripes,
The banner wide unfurled—
Here high amid our mountain sky,
It waves to all the world.

And while we celebrate the day
So long this nation’s boast:
We will a grateful tribute pay
To Him, the Lord of Hosts.

Chorus
All hail—all hail! to th’ Stars and Stripes,
The banner wide unfurled—
Here high amid our mountain sky,
It waves to all the world.

His hand—His mighty hand sustained—
The Lord our battles fought—
For us, a bloodless victory gained
And brought our foes to nought.

Chorus
All hail—all hail! to th’ Stars and Stripes,
The banner wide unfurled—
Here high amid our mountain sky,
It waves to all the world.

He gives us Statesman, wise and true,
Whose hearts have never swerv’d:
The laws and Constitution too
By them will be preserv’d.

Chorus
All hail—all hail! to th’ Stars and Stripes,
The banner wide unfurled—
Here high amid our mountain sky,
It waves to all the world.
