Hymnal: Linden Harp #156 (1855) First Line: With joy we meet Lyrics: 1 With joy we meet,
With smiles we greet
Our schoolmates bright and gay;
Be dry each tear
Of sorrow here,
'Tis Independence day,
'Tis Independence day.
Be dry each tear
Of sorrow here,
'Tis Independence day.
2 'Tis freedom's sound,
That rings around,
And brightens every ray;
Our banner float
With trumpet notes,
On Independence day,
On Independence day.
Our banner float
With trumpet notes,
On Independence day.
3 While thunder breaks,
And music wakes
Its patriotic lay;
At temple gate
Our feet shall wait
On Independence day,
On Independence day.
At temple gate
Our feet shall wait
On Independence day.
4 O who from home
Would fail to come,
And join the children's lay,
When praise we bring
To God our King,
On Independence day?
5 For liberty,
Great God, to thee
Our grateful thanks we pay:
For thanks, we know,
To thee we owe,
On Independence day. Languages: English Tune Title: INDEPENDENCE DAY
