interest, all alike prompt to energy and effort. Let us each 

 do our humble part. Let us give freely our means and our 

 strength. Let us, if need be, beat our ploughshares into 

 swords, and our pruning-hooks into spears. Let us toil and 

 strive, and fight on to the end, — hoping, praying, believing, 

 that in God's good time it will come, and that amid all these 

 raging billows, and through the fierce storm and tempest, the 

 Ark of our Safety will ride in triumph. 



" Thou, too, sail on, O Ship of State ! 

 Sail on, O Union, strong and great! 

 Humanity with all its fears, 

 With all the hopes of future years, 

 Is hanging breathless on thy fate ! 



Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea ! 



Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee. 



Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, 



Our faith triumphant o'er our fears. 



Are all with thee — are all with thee."
