Columbia, the gem of the ocean. J. H. Johnson, Song Publisher, &c [song sheet]
COLUMBIA, THE GEM OF THE OCEAN.
J. H. JOHNSON, Song Publisher, Stationer and Printer, No. 7 North Tenth St., 3 doors above Market, Philadelphia.
Revised and Printed expressly for the Public Schools.
Oh Columbia, the gem of the ocean,
The home of the brave and the free,
The shrine of each patriot's devotion,
A world offers homage to thee;
Thy mandates make heroes assemble,
When liberty's form stands in view,
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the red, white and blue,
When borne by the red, white and blue,
When borne by the red, white and blue,
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the red, white and blue.
When war wing'd its wide desolation,
And threatened our land to deform,
The ark then of freedom's foundation,
Columbia, rode safe through the storm,
With garlands of victory around her,
When so proudly she bore her brave crew,
With her flag floating proudly before her,
The boast of the red, white and blue,
The boast of the red, white and blue,
The boast of the red, whine and blue,
With her flag floating proudly before her,
The boast of the red, white and blue.
The Star Spangled Banner bring hither,
O'er Columbias true sons let it wave,
May the wreath they have won never wither,
Nor the stars cease to shine on the brave.
May the service united ne'er sever,
But they to their colors prove true,
The Army and Navy for ever,
Three cheers for the red, white and blue,
Three cheers for the red, white and blue,
Three cheers for the red, white and blue,
The Army and Navy for ever,
Three cheers for the red, white and blue.
