Oh God, preserve the Union
And may it ever stand
Among the nations of the earth
A great and glorious land.
We'll neither know a North nor South,
But will united be,
As brothers and as Freemen true
To our Union great and free.

Chorus -- The Constitution is our guide,
Thus let our motto stand:
Oh God, preserve the Union
Of our free and glorious land.


Handwritten: 5

Let every State its law maintain,
And ever claim its rights;
Let no fanatic hand be raised
Our land to disunite.
The East, the West, the North, the South,
As foes can never be;
But side by side will stand or fall
For our Union great and free.

Chorus -- The Constitution, &c.

Then let the Union be preserved,
For ages yet to come,
That nations still unborn may find
With us a happy home.
May peace and plenty crown our land,
And love and friendship reign,
And every Freeman be resolved
Our Union to maintain.

Chorus -- The Constitution, &c.
