1. See the car of freedom speeding
Onward with resistless force;
Clear the way whate'er's impeding,
Onward, speed it in its course;

Speed it onward, Speed it onward,
In its circle round the earth.
In its circle round the earth.

2. Lo, a brighter day is dawning
On our country, on the world;
Hearts long-riven cease their mourning,
Where thy banners are unfurl'd.
Wave thy banners, Wave thy banners,
Where oppression's darts are hurl'd.
Where oppression's darts are hurl'd.

3. Rise N.'England's sons and daughters,
Put your shoulders to the wheel
Jesus by example taught us
For our neighbor's woes to feel;
Let his spirit, Let his spirit
Prompt us all their wounds to heal.
Prompt us all their wounds to heal.

4. Soon shall ev'ry earthbound nation
See the sun of freedom rise;
Vale and mount shall be its station,
Whither all shall turn their eyes.
Haste the era, Haste the era,
When shall cease the bondman's sighs.
When shall cease the bondman's sighs.
