"Hail, Columbia" is an American patriotic song and ceremonial entrance march of the vice president of the United States.

Let no rude foe, with impious hand, Let no rude foe, with impious hand, Invade the shrine where sacred lies Of toil and blood, the well-earned prize, While off’ring peace, sincere and just, In Heaven’s we place a manly trust, That truth and justice will prevail, And every scheme of bondage fail.

Chorus Firm, united let us be, Rallying round our liberty, As a band of brothers joined, Peace and safety we shall find.

When hope was sinking in dismay, When glooms obscured Columbia’s day, His steady mind, from changes free, Resolved on death or liberty.

Sound, sound the trump of fame, Let Washington’s great name Ring through the world with loud applause, Ring through the world with loud applause, Let ev’ry clime to freedom dear, Listen with a joyful ear, With equal skill, with God-like pow’r He governs in the fearful hour Of horrid war, or guides with ease The happier time of honest peace.
