1 Hail! Stars and Stripes! our Standard, we salute thee;
Emblem of Freedom, Justice, Right and Peace.
Long may thou wave to show the path of Duty;
Guide Reason’s will and bid all discord cease.

2 Hail! fair Columbia! Freemen rise to greet thee!
Star of the West! a Beacon; brightly shine.
Till Time shall end may foeman ne’er defeat thee!
Strong in the Might that maketh Right divine.

3 Hail! blest Republic! May the God of Nations
O’er thee extend His all protecting Hand.
God bless our Flag throughout all generations;
Hail! thou beloved Banner of our Land.
