The Union Song

Boys and Girls are all for Union,
North and South, East and West;
All the States in loved communion,
Heart and hand with freedom blest.

Chorus:
Then join in a loud hurrah!
Hurrah for the land of the free!
For Union and peace, for order and law!
Hurrah for the land of the free.

We will love our land forever,
Dearest land beneath the sun;
Foeman’s steel shall not dissever
Youthful hearts that now are one.

Chorus

We are all a band of brothers,
All the States are sisters too,
And in time there will be others
That shall happy vows renew.

Chorus

Let the hopeful words be spoken,
On the wings of promise borne;
Never shall the links be broken,
Never shall the flag be torn.

Chorus

Union now and Union ever!
Boys and girls for Union all!
We will keep it safe, and never
Shall our glorious Union fall.
