And glorious hopes for us are born
Upon the nations natal day.
More than century : years have run
Since Valley Forge and Bunker Hill.
While Coneord's fight and Lexington
Bring memories that thrill us still,
Too rarely now we count the cost
And hazard of that warfare's wage
Or think on what rough seas were tossed
The patriots of our earlier age.
Firmly they stood against the night
of the whole worlds supremeSt power.
They fought by faith and not by sight
When failure threatened hour by hour.
But he who rules the fates and years
Who shapes all human destinies,
Made hope the conqueror Of thoir fears
And brought us freedom linked with
peace.
Lift, then, today the stripes and stars
And let our country's banner wave.

And still inspires the true and brave,
