Lyrics
  • Liberty Verse: For freedom, home and native land, o God, we give thee praise! Be with us yet! Reveal thy hand, and lead thro’ calm and stormy days. O grant that we, united, with “Old Glory” wide unfurled, May blaze the way to justice, truth and right for all the world. Refrain: Keep the dear old flag unfurled! Unsullied, wave it to the world
  • For tyrant hand shall never mar one stripe or trample on a star! On the waves of ev’ry sea, all men shall free and equal be! For this we’ll fight and die, if we must, our faith in God, in God we trust. Verse: May we, for whom our fathers bled, be brave and true as they, And by the blood for us they shed, preserve our glorious land today. Not might, but right is all our boast, and up from sea to sea, Awaits to rise a mighty host to guard our liberty. Refrain Verse: For flag, and home, and native land our blood we would outpour, As unto God we yield command, and swear allegiance evermore. Wave on thou dear old flag, wave on! May righteousness increa
