Huzzah for Madison Lyrics

Now have the foes of freedom sought
Our happy union to divide,
For which our heroes bravely fought,
For which our patriots bravely died,

But vain their efforts all have proved,
The temple still unshaken stands,
Nor by the power of faction moved
Nor leveled by rebellion's hands,

Huzzah! for Madison, huzzah! for union and America,
Huzzah! for Madison, huzzah! for union and America.

And should the Tories all unite
And join again with British foes;
Though Satan might applaud the sight,
The heavens would soon interpose.

While Jefferson to shade retires
And Madison like morn appears
Fresh confidence and hope inspires
And light again the nation cheers.

Huzzah! for Madison, huzzah! for union and America,
Huzzah! for Madison, huzzah! for union and America.
