Robert Bridges - To the United States of America lyrics

Brothers in blood! They who this wrong began To wreck our commonwealth, will rue the day When first they challenged freemen to the fray, And with the Briton dared the American. Now are we pledged to win the Rights of man; Labor and Justice now shall have their way, And in a League of Peace--God grant we may-- Transform the earth, not patch up the old plan. Sure is our hope since he who led your nation Spake for mankind, and ye arose in awe Of that high call to work the world's salvation; Clearing your minds of all estranging blindness In the vision of Beauty and the Spirit's law, Freedom and Honor and sweet Loving kindness.
