We love the men and women, too,

Who fought and worked and brought us through

Our glorious revolution;

Hard was the struggle, brave the fight,

That won for them the sovereign right

To frame a Constitution.

CHORUS.

This Constitution made us free

In this proud land of liberty—

The best in all creation—

And we'll stand by it while we live;

Whatever we may have we'll give

For its perpetuation.

Our Country is the fairest one

Kissed by the ever rolling sun—

We glory in our nation;

And we will see that it shall be

The happy land of liberty,

Through time's continuation.

—Francis H. Orme.
