Oh let that treasured emblem fly,
Revered by me and you;
That hallowed flag that does decry
Tenants of red white and blue!
That says freedom should ever be
The right of every human heart.
That the sweet savor of liberty
From men shall not depart.
Oh let the God of eternity,
Ever be her faithful shield.
His compassionate grace
Her children's greatest yield.
May she never take delight
In the innocents’ screams,
But champion in golden light
Their hopes, their cherished dreams.
Stand up and salute her,
Cheer when you see her fly!
The champion of freedom born,
This day… the 4th of July!
