273. Old Glory! We Love Thee

1 Old Glory! we love thee!
The light of each star,
Thy stripes, all resplendent,
We hail from afar;
Afloat on the breezes
O’er mountain and wave,
The Banner of Freedom,
The Flag of the Brave!

Refrain:
Old Glory! we love thee
Wherever unfurled,
The symbol of Freedom
To all of the world.

2 Old Glory! we love thee
And all of thy charm!
Our lives we would offer
To shield thee from harm;
We pledge our allegiance
Forever to thee,
The Pride of the Nation!
The Flag of the Free! [Refrain]

3 Old Glory! we love thee
For deeds of the past!
On pages of Hist’ry
The record will last;
Unsullied by traitor
Or foe’s ruthless hand,
Undimm’d thru’ the ages,
The flag of the Land. [Refrain]
