- We watch the flag as it passes by
- A flash of color against the sky;
- Its fifty stars are a dazzling white
- As those few that shone by the dawn's first light.
- The brave, bright red that will never fade
- By the blood of men's sacrifice was made.
- The white, for our nation's purity
- Can be kept from stain by you and me.
- The blue; the vastness of God's own sky,
- His promise that freedom shall never die.
-
- The mighty cities; the farmlands fair;
- The many churches for praise and prayer;
- The chance to do, and the chance to be
- In a land our forefathers fought to free.
- The hope that the world is looking for,
- In out will for peace but our strength for war
- All these are the flag of our dear land,
- A symbol we cherish and understand.
- And we bare our heads and our hearts beat high
- As our flag, "Old Glory" is passing by.
