CHORUS.
Hurrah! hurrah! oh may its colors wave,
Hurrah! hurrah! the banner of the free,
O’er thee for aye, thou Land our fathers gave,
O Land my home, sweet Land of Liberty.
We breath, the air our fathers breathed,
Inspiring freedom still;
Unsheathe the sword that they unsheathed,
And strike with dauntless will.
—Chorus.
Behold the same old sun above,
The same old spangled dome
Forever shining out in love
On Freedom’s happy home.
—Chorus.
We’ll guard the home our fathers won
And fight the latest foe;
We’ll stand by every loyal gun
Where Freedom’s streamers flow.
—Chorus.
Beneath the stripes of red and white
And starry spangled blue,
Protected by the God of Right
We’ll fight the battle through.
—Chorus.
We’ll bid defiance to the world
And make the welkin ring,
With Freedom’s dauntless flag unfurled
And God above, our King.
—Chorus.
