Ballot Song of American Women
Minnetta Theodora Taylor  Fred. B. King

1. Once more awakes the spirit of the just, And a
worldwide flame is kindled from the dust!
Women for the right we know. For the duty that we owe
For the souls now here and coming vote we must.

2. Our voice is for the wisdom of the free, Ever
growing since our fathers crossed the sea.
Silence in the court of wrong To the weakling doth belong.
But the voice that calls for freedom heard must be.

3. We're walking where the heroes all have trod, O'er a
weary way where we can only plod;
But we're toiling in the space  Where the martyrs took their place.
And our mighty shout is risen to our God.

4. Ye Pow'rs of Evil, earth is not your ow, And with
woman's help, you shall be overthrown.
Then a better life shall rise  Than has gladdened human eyes.
And true peace shall blend the nations into one.

5.Let's stand together, women, hard and fast!  Let us
vow to keep the faith until the last!
By the truth the world has learned.  By the falsehood it has spurned.
We will vote and rise above the vanished past.

Ballot Song of American Women

REFRAIN.

We the people! all the people!

rings........

How, oh! how it rings, it rings,  Justice broad and

free, the living heart of things.  Sisters working

for the light.  Brothers striving for the right. We the

people! all the people! How, oh! how it rings.
