Flag of the Free
|
| by Walter Taylor Field |
| |
Look at the flag as it floats on high,
Streaming
aloft in the clear, blue sky,
Rippling, leaping,
tugging away,
Gay as the sunshine, bright as the
day,
Throbbing with life, where the world may see-
Flag of our country, flag of the free!
What do
we see in the flag on high,
That we bare our heads
as it passes by,
That we thrill with pride, our hearts
beat fast,
And we cheer and cheer as the flag goes
past-
The flag that waves for you and me-
Flag
of our country, flag of the free?
We see in the
flag a nation's might.
The pledge of a safeguard
day and night,
Of a watchful eye and a powerful arm
That guard the nation's homes from harm.
Of a strong
defense on land and sea-
Flag of our country, flag
of the free!
We see in the flag a union grand,
A brotherhood of heart and hand,
A pledge of love
and a stirring call
To live our lives fro the good
of us all-
Helpful and just and true to thee,
Flag of our country, flag of the free!
Flutter,
dear flag, o'er the lands and seas!
Fling out your
stars and your stripes to the breeze,
Righting all
wrongs, dispelling all fear,
Guarding the land that
we cherish so dear,
And the God of our fathers, abiding
with thee,
Will bless you and trust you, O flag of
the free! |
