By William Winter, Esq.

Air: Hail Columbia

Grand with feeling, sweet and strong, Swell to-night the choral song! For the noble work is done; And the precious prize is won; And the raptured nations stand Face to -face and hand in hand.         Honor to the brave and true!         Skill to plan and will to do;         Strength that nerves, through doubt and pain,         Saxon heart and Saxon brain! For the rainbow arch sublime, Rises o'er the sea of Time; And the starry lights presage Triumphs of the golden age. O'er the centuries left behind Glorious is the march of mind; And to-night our prayers arise For its grandest enterprise: While Thought's winged couriers sweep Through the oozy dungeons deep!         Honor those who sowed the seed -         Noble thought and noble deed!         But, for every blessing given,         GLORY BE TO GOD IN HEAVEN! For the rainbow arch sublime, Rises o'er the sea of Time; And the starry lights presage Triumphs of the golden age.
