“UNFURL the flag of Freedom, Fling far the bugle blast! There comes a sound of marching From out the mighty past. Let every peak and valley Take up the valiant cry: Where, beautiful as morning, Our banner cuts the sky. Free born to peace and justice, We stand to guard and save The liberty of manhood, The faith our fathers gave. Then soar aloft, Old Glory, And tell the waiting breeze No law but Right and Mercy Shall rule the Seven Seas. No hate is in our anger, No vengeance in our wrath, We hold the line of freedom Across the tyrant’s path. Where’er oppression vaunteth We loose the sword once more To stay the feet of conquest, And pray an end of war.
