William McCarty, comp. The American National Song Book. 1842.

The Host That Fights for Liberty

ARM! arm! ye brave, and nobly join

The sons of Freedom’s valiant line!

Columbia’s heroes now entwine

To guard the shores of Liberty.

No slavery guides our warlike band,

But brothers strike a brother’s hand,

And fires link and wide expand

The host that fights for Liberty.

The fair your martial spirits trace,

And proudly view your warlike grace,

And rosy wreaths shall twine, to place

On those who guard our Liberty.

Ye heroes, then, who bravely fight

For country and offended right,

On you the blessing ever light

Of Freedom, Love, and Liberty.
