Greater than kingly power, greater than all mankind;
Conceived in the need of the hour, inspired by the Master Mind;
Over the living children, over the laureled grave,
Streaming on high in the cloudless sky, banner our fathers gave.
Under thy spangled folds thy children await to give
All that they have or are that the flag they love shall live.
NO. 22. CHORUS: Under the Stars and Stripes:
High on the world did our fathers of old,
Under the stars and stripes,
Blazon the name that we now must uphold,
