Hail To The (New) Chief

ACROSTIC ANTICIPATION


Oh God speed Mr President when you

Begin your awesome adventure in power;

At each dilemma's crossroads you come to

May you find wisdom at that lonely hour

And strength to see the burdensome trip through.

Lyrics that were written by Albert Gamse are set to James Sanderson's music, but they are rarely sung.

Hail to the Chief we have chosen for the nation,
Hail to the Chief! We salute him, one and all.
Hail to the Chief, as we pledge cooperation
In proud fulfillment of a great, noble call.

Yours is the aim to make this grand country grander,
This you will do, that's our strong, firm belief.
Hail to the one we selected as commander,
Hail to the President! Hail to the Chief!
