Battle Hymn of the Stones

The following data is extracted from Stone Family History.

Tune: "Battle Hymn of the Republic"
There's something strong and mighty in a good old family name!
The name of Stone is found among those on the scroll of fame;
For nearly all the sons of Stone pursue a lofty aim.
The clan goes marching on!

Chorus: Glory to our grand old family,
Virile, worthy, brave and loyal!
Sure, Stone is a grand old family!
The clan goes marching on!

Richard, Joseph, John and Hugh were fathers of our clan;
Posterity of Gregory and Simon never ran;
Samuel was virile, Thomas was a sturdy man.
The clan goes marching on!

William was a signer of a famous document;
Enos into danger for his country bravely went;
Samuel preached the gospel, everything he said he meant.
The clan goes marching on!

Gilbert was a writer who served many noble knights;
Patriotic David was hero of many fights;
Frederick stood for justice; Lucy fought for women's rights.
The clan goes marching on!

Andrew was a statesman whom his countrymen adore;
George Stone was a bishop, worthy of the robes he wore;
William governed Maryland--request of Baltimore.
The clan goes marching on!

When danger threatened country or a battle to be won,
Righteous movements need defenders or work to be done,
Brave Stones were always there, and never did a kinsman run.
The clan goes marching on!

The sons of Stone have courage any task or foe to face;
Our daughters all are lovely with their beauty, charm and grace;
The leaven of our family is a blessing to the race.
The clan goes marching on!

No matter what opposes or what enemies assail,
With Stone allied in worthy causes, justice should prevail.
Those who claim the name and blood of Stone should never fail.
The clan goes marching on!
