And win we must,
Grant that it be Thy will.
Thou Arbiter of Justice,

Within whose hand reposeth
The lives of them that brave
The restless deep,
We pray Thee keep
Them and from dangers save.

Bless Thou the stars the crimson bars
That wave for everlnore-
Bless, too, the brave
Der whom doth wave
The bars and single star.
