Song
We'll keep Old Glory flying fair,
No matter where we are;
We'll let the breeze caress each stripe
And proudly kiss each star.
'Twill never know the despot's heel,
This Banner of the Free.
We'll keep Old Glory flying high,
For Home and Liberty!
No matter where we go, or when,
No matter where we go,
Our starry flag in grandeur proud,
To us the way will show.
On foreign shores, afar from home,
We'll carry it on high,
And let the foeman know its might—
To honor it or die.

OUR COUNTRY'S FLAG
Song
Beneath our country's flag today,
We stand a children's band,
And to it now in loyalty
We pledge each heart and hand.
We love its colors as they wave
Beneath these summer skies,
The flag our fathers fought to save
Is sacred in our eyes.
Our country's flag, the dear old flag,
To it, ev'ry heart beats true!
We will follow far each gleaming star,
Our own red, white and blue.
'Neath each clust'ring fold, as in days of old,
It will gather those oppressed,
And secure from harm and from all alarm,
It will bid them safely rest.
To its slightest call, we will rally all;
Ev'ry pledge it makes to keep;
And it leads us forth over lands afar,
O'er the ocean's blue so deep.
Florence L. Dresser
