1 In the name of Jehovah our banner we raise,
With its stars and its stripes pledged anew to his praise:
'Tis the ensign of truth, 'tis the standard of right,
'Tis the herald of liberty, union, and right.

Chorus:
And the flag of our fathers, in God's name unfurled,
O'er their children shall wave to the end of the world.

2 If it ever prove false to its glorious trust,
May its foes drag it down with contempt to the dust;
But as long as 'tis true to the blazon it holds,
Shall the arm of Omnipotence bear up its folds.
[Chorus]

3 Here at home, with one sky and one land, let it be
But the flag of one people, harmonious and free;
From the north to the south, from the east to the west,
With no treason to part it, no war to molest.
[Chorus]

4 So abroad on all seas and all shores let it shine
As the symbol of manhood, redeemed and divine;
That the down-trodden nations in triumph may rise,
With their feet on their chains, and their brows to the skies.
[Chorus]
