Our Country's Flag.

Beneath the Stars and Stripes there stand Our sons so nobly brave, United by a holy band, Their courage fears no grave.

Chorus: Our country's flag let proudly wave, For freedom is our shield The Union must and shall be saved, We'll never never yield.

Let traitors boast but for awhile, We'll meet them on the field; The Stars and Stripes know naught of guile, For freedom is our shield.

We'll fight to conquer or to die, Our cause is just and right; “E Pluribus Unum” is our cry—The Lord with us is might.

Rally, ye sons, ye noble men! Buckle the armor on; Follow your father's footsteps, then The battle will be won.

O glorious Union, happy land, We'll shed our blood for thee; Thou sacred gift of father's hand Thou land of liberty.

We'll soon disperse our country's gloom, We are and will be free; The curse of God, the traitor's doom Awaits our enemy.
