A SONG, 
Made by a Dutch Lady at the Hague, for the Sailors of the

God save the Thirteen States !
Long rule th' United States !
God save our States !
Make us victorious;
Happy and glorious;
No tyrants over us;
God save our States !

And save for ev'r our fates, 
From tyranny !

Whereon we glory may, 
We saw the glitt'ring ray, 
Of Liberty.
