Emblems OF our glory;
Let them noat upon the breeze,
Telling freedoms story;
Telling OF brave, valiant deeds,
BY men now In glory;
Telling how they fought aud died,
Fer the battle CORY.
Loud let the cannon's roar,
Ger land and water;
Let the echoes reach the ear
OF each sou aud daughter;
Let Us thank the living God.
And listen to his story;
Let US honor those who died
For freedom, home and glory.
Let the bells peal forth their chimes,
By u joyful ringing;
Let the nation lit its voice,
One glad anthem singing.
Those who died on battle helds,
In homes beyond the river,
WIN listen to the sweet refrains,
And hearts with pride will CULVER.
