Aye, 'twas a rising sun that peered Above those purple pictured hills, A sun whose ray of splendor cheered The freemen by their distant rills: A sun whose beams shall never set, Though nations shall their names forget Earth's latest age shall feel its ray, And millions warm beneath its smiles; On mountain's peak its gleam shall play, And gladden the remotest isles; The fetter'd serf shall feel its power, While kings turn pale, and tyrants cower. As when amid chaotic night, When earth came rolling, void of form, Jehovah said, "let there be light" And li rht came streaming from the storm: So streamed the ray from yonder sun, When freedom's title deed was done.
