182. Our Colors So True

1 Three colors has the nation's flag
Our hearts delight to see,-
The Red, and White, and starry Blue,
Our pledge of liberty.

Chorus:
O Red, White, and Blue, our colors so true,
And emblem fair of heav'nly things, to help us on our way;
O Red, White, and Blue, the old and the new,
Our banner of gladness, we hail it today!

2 Red speaks to us of Jesus' blood,
For all the whole world shed,
That we might rise to life and light,
Thro' Him who once was dead. [Chorus]

3 White tells of those who, pure in heart,
Shall see the Savior's face,
And in His likeness daily grow,
In Heaven's holy place. [Chorus]

4 Blue tells us of the faithful ones
Who like the stars shall be,
Bright jewels in the Victor's crown,
Thro' all eternity. [Chorus]
