Lit up the Old Flag OF Sumteri
Tenderly-lovingly-
Lift it on Liberty's spaIs
Bring back the Old Flag OF Sumter
Banner of Stars.
Back. like bride to her bridegroom.
Living aad loved as of yore.
Back to the winds and the sunshine
Welded once more
o. how she twines around Sumter
Kisses the red brow Of Sumter
Mantling his flrrows and scars
All the grim bosom Of Ruin
Zoning with Liberty's stars
Bring back the free Flag of Sumpter
Fcarlessly-iaithfally-
Lift il DER shackes and bars:
High DER the ashes of Slavery.
Watchlight of Stars
Under the folds of its azure
Mingle tie souls of our brave:
Under The gules of its glory
Bleedeth no slave!
Labor--crect in bis rice field
Clothed in the cotton's white ilceces->
Fccleth no longer his scars:
Man.lke, he looks up to Heaven
Under the Banner Of Stars co.
Lift up the proud Flag of Sumteri
JoyoGsly--jocundly-
Rocked by the cannons loud jars;
All the dark clouds Of Disunion
Rifting with stars
Far over crumbling Rebellion.
Loyalty's Gospel it bears;
Climbing the highways of Heaven.
Frcighted with prayers
Emblem of Liberty's Manhood
Symbol and Sign Of People.
Stronger than soldans or CARS
High DER the hills of the Future
Shineth our Beacon Of Stars
Shout for the bold flag OF Sumteri
Misunderstanding
Shout for it Soldiers and TarS
Ye who with SHERMAN have conquered
Under the Stars
Rally once moro round the Flag boysi
Fling DER the waters your chant;
Hurrah for SHERMAN and SHERIDAN
Hurrah for GRANT,
Ye who with FARRAGUT thundered--
Ye who went storming with PORTER
Peal out your Union Huzzas
Shout for the Old Flag Of Sumter .
Shout for the Banner of Stars
Stand by the Old Flag of Sumteri
Stesdiastly-dauntlessy-
Stand BY il Soldiers and Tarsi
Leading the March Of the ages
Cluster its Stars
Ont from the darkness OF bondage
Upward from Battlik Red Sea;
Over The Jordan Of Victory
Landing the FRgE!
Bring back the Old Flag Of Sumteri
LIT, up the bold Flag Of Sumter
Fling is aloft from its sparsi
Stand by the folds Of "Od Gloryr'
Stand by the Banner Of Starsl
Kneel round the pure Flag Of Sumter
silently-revcrcniy-
Kissing It's beautiful scar;
Swear by the pure Flag OF Sumter.
Swear b. the stars
Here at the Altar OF Sumter,
Built upon Slavery's dust.
Welded from Slaverys ruins.
Lying in rust;
Swear 10 he true a. Our Union
Swear to be loyal to Freedom
RendiDg oil letters and bars;
Under the Flag OF our Fathers--
Under the Banner of S,srs'
Pray for the Old Flag OF surnteri
Piously-fervently-
flushing the cannons wild jars:
Pray. as We prayed with your ANDERSON
Under its stars
Drawing the red bolts of Treason
Holding Rebellion at bay:
First for the Old Flag to battle,
Earliest TO pray
God bless the heroes who i've for 1t
God rest the Martyrs who die for 1t;
ROBBED in their beautiful scars;
Gliding IT'D gues with their likelihood
yielding their SOULS for its STARS
Gaze On the Old Flag Of Sumter
Graciously-grateiuuyi
Reck not that batte-siain mars,
Reck not for murk Of our Midnight
Darkening its stars
Lol by that Flags Crucifixion
Freedoms Redemption was bought;
Out of the Passion Of Sumter
Union is wrought
Ours was the Trial and Agony
OurS is the fiery alembci
What though il scorchcs end chars'
Out Of the Stag comes the silver
Midnight is Mother OF stars
