ANTHEM 
   For the Fourth of July.

  Words: The Weekly Museum (New-York), July 4, 1795
  Tune: LIBERTY by Stephen Jenks, 1800 (Sacred Harp, p. 137)


  With songs of honour chanting high,
    Your graceful voices raise;
  Fair Freedom lights the Western sky
    And claims your tuneful lays.

  No more beneath the oppressive hand
    Of Tyranny we groan;
  Behold, a smiling happy land
    That Freedom calls her own.

  Come celebrate with Song and Praise,
    The day which makes us Free;
  Let Harmony her Notes upraise
    To sing our Jubilee.

  All hail the blest auspicious day,
    And every heart agree
  To praise, and joyous honours pay
    To this our Jubilee.
