THE UNION OATH.

Alexander Hamilton Laidlaw

By the Revolution's dead, By their Blood in battle shed, By the Earth that drank their gore, By the Heaven in which they soar,

By the Union Stripe and Star, By the God of Righteous War, Swear to conquer, or to die! Swear to conquer,

Swear to conquer, Swear to conquer now, or die! By the Revolution's dead, By their Blood in battle shed,

By the Earth that drank their gore, By the Heaven in which they soar, By the Union Stripe and Star, By the God of Righteous War,

We will conquer now, or die! We will conquer! We will conquer! We will conquer now, or die!
