Urging freemen to duty in dark tribulation;
To show to the world that truth is unfurled,
Aught else from Columbia forever is hurled.
That the proud Ark, etc.
May the emblem we love, the Flag of the Free,
For all time to come be our shield and our protection,
Ever waving in glory on land and on sea,
Our shrine of devotion and fond recollection;
To show to the world our flag is unfurled,
And strife from Columbia forever is hurled.
