OUR FLAG AND OUR CHIEF. (The Spirit of America.)
Reading edition
Our country’s flag for honor stands, We see our chief with outstretched hands, Raising that flag unfurled on high, Now waving ’neath a cloudy sky; O’er the sea from this rock-bound shore We hear the din of battle roar, Brother ’gainst brother, worldly strife Ruin and turmoil, life for life. God of justice and love and might, Preserve our nation in this fight For selfish greed, not honor true, Where pure unselfish love we view; We pray thee fill our hearts with care For all earth’s people, will and dare In righteous love peace to proclaim, For all mankind in joy, not pain.
