“Old Glory” |
Flag of the Free |
|
Look at the flag,
as it floats on high,
streaming aloft in the clear, blue sky,
rippling, leaping, tugging away,
gay as the sunshine, bright as the day,
throbbing with life, where the world may see,
flag of our country, flag of the free! |
“The Stars & Stripes” |
What do we see
in the flag on high,
that we bare our head as it passes by,
that we thrill with pride, our hearts beat fast,
and we cheer and cheer as the the flag goes past,
the flag that waves for you and me?
Flag of our country, flag of the free! |
|
We see in the
flag a nation's might,
the pledge of a safeguard day and night,
of a watchful eye, and a powerful arm
that guards the nation’s homes from harm.
Of a strong defense on land and sea,
flag of our country, flag of the free! |
“Flag of the Free” |
We
see in the flag, a union grand,
a brotherhood of heart and hand,
a pledge of love and a stirring call
to live our lives for good of us all.
Helpful and just, and true true to thee,
flag of our country, flag of the free!
|
|
Flutter, dear
flag, o’er the lands and seas.
Fling out your stars and your stripe
to the breeze.
Righting all wrongs, dispelling all fear,
guarding the land
that we cherichs so dear. And the God
of our fathers, abiding with thee
will bless you and trust you,
o’ flag of the free! |
