Let us give thanks, and lift our ringing voices,
Though not for plenty, nor for paths of peace;
Let us rejoice, as a strong man rejoices
To run his race; — nor pray for swift release:
We who have doubted, dumb with indecision,
Nor turned our faltering footsteps toward the Right,
We who have heeded not the surer vision,
Let us give thanks — for we have seen the light!

Let us give thanks that once again, compelling,
Our flag shall float for Freedom to the skies,
Ten thousand times ten thousand voices swelling
Proclaim our service and our sacrifice.
Let us give thanks — an undivided nation,
One purposed now, we press toward the goal,
To Thee, our Fathers' God and our Salvation,
Let us give thanks — for we have found our Soul!
