John Bull he is another, and he marches Jack beside;
And Yankee Doodle joins with them—three brothers, God for guide:
Vive l'Amerique! l'Angleterre! la France!
Vive la—Vive la France!

Dieu! Seigneur! A ton Esprit la gloire!
The Peace of Justice reign forever more!
Vive l'Esprit de la France!
We are marching in alliance that our faith may be restored;
We are fighting, we are cheering, for a nobler world-accord;
We are praying, through the tempest, unto Liberty, our Lord:
Vive l'Alliance! Vive la France!
Vive la victoire de la France!
Percy MacKaye.
