ALL hail, thou glorious morn
When Washington was born!
All hail to thee!
Whether thy skies be bright,
Or veiled in clouds of night,
To thee in joyous right

All come with glad acclaim,
To sing and praise thy name,
O Washington!
O'er all this land so free,
Hearts turn with pride to thee,
Champion of liberty,
Columbia's son.
