Gem of cities of our nation,
We to thee our homage bring,
And with loving admiration
We thy praises loudly sing,
Thou the proud and strong young giant,
Standing by the inland sea,
Fair art thou and self reliant,
Proudly then we sing to thee.

Hail Chicago! Hail Chicago!
First in art and industry,
Hail Chicago! Hail Chicago!
Strong courageous proud and free;
Never shall thy people falter,
All the world thy fame shall fill,
Naught our loyalty can alter,
Nor thy spirit of: "I will!"

Hail Chicago! Hail Chicago!
First in art and industry,
Hail Chicago! Hail Chicago!
Strong courageous proud and free;
Never shall thy people falter,
All the world thy fame shall fill,
Naught our loyalty can alter,
Nor thy spirit of: "I will!"

Come the children of each nation,
From the lands across the sea,
Some of high and some low station,
Seeking refuge here with thee,
With thy native sons and daughters
All shall love and honor thee,
Till like sound of mighty waters,
This our song of praise shall be:

Hail Chicago! Hail Chicago!
First in art and industry,
Hail Chicago! Hail Chicago!
Strong courageous proud and free;
Never shall thy people falter,
All the world thy fame shall fill,
Naught our loyalty can alter,
Nor thy spirit of: "I will!"

Hail Chicago! Hail Chicago!
First in art and industry,
Hail Chicago! Hail Chicago!
Strong courageous proud and free;
Never shall thy people falter,
All the world thy fame shall fill,
Naught our loyalty can alter,
Nor thy spirit of: "I will!"
