Our Country’s Flag

Author: James L. Elderdice Hymnal: Kingdom Songs #210 (1914) First Line: O glorious flag, thy stripes and stars Refrain First Line: Our country's flag, we give to thee Lyrics: 1 O glorious flag, thy stripes and stars Once borne thro’ smoke and flame of wars, In triumph still, from sea to sea, Floats o’er a nation great and free. Chorus: Our country’s flag, we give to thee, And those who died to set us free A sacred pledge of loyalty, Forever, and forever. 2 Aliens by tyranny oppressed, Beneath thy folds find home and rest; Symbol of liberty thou art, And dear to ev’ry patriot heart. [Chorus] 3 Our Country’s flag, Red, White and Blue, To thee and honor ever true, We hail thy streaming colors bright, And vow adherence to the right. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [O glorious flag, thy stripes and stars]

Elderdice, whose no de plume was “Hermit.” Like most authors who write so much, considerable of his work was weak. He possessed many poetical ideas, but was not always happy in expressing them. In the April, 1880, number of the Pastime, he published a poem entitled “A Picture,” which he entered for the laureateship, but it was unsuccessful. The next year he made another attempt to win and was successful, his poem being entitle, “Progressiveness of Development.” His poems were not highly figurative, but were nearly all reflective in their character. excerpts from A Cyclopedia of the Literature of Amateur Journalism By Truman Joseph Spencer
