175. The Flag We Love the Best

1 Hail to our nation’s banner!
With its colors bright,
Stars of gleaming white;
Hail to our nation’s banner
Floating glad and free!

Chorus:
Long wave, Old Glory!
‘Tis thee flag we love the best,
Long wave, Old Glory!
From the east unto the west.
Long wave, Old Glory!
‘Tis the flag we love so true;
May we keep it pure and spotless,
Our red, white and blue!

2 Hail to the flag of freedom,
Ever wide unfurled
Unto all the world,
Stainless in all thy beauty,
Flag we love the best! [Chorus]

3 Long may you wave, Old Glory,
And for justice stand
Over all the land;
Long may you wave, Old Glory,
Flag of liberty! [Chorus]
