The stars in the sky that are shining,
In darkness are faithful and true,
Like those that our banner illumine,
The flag of the red, white and blue.

Is cleaning with symbols Of light,
And forth to the world we unfurl 1t
In honor of freedom and right.

All hail to the flag that we love,
The stars and the red, white and

AS light from above, from the heavens

For freedom ard right, keep it true.
Though gathered afar from the races.
Though bearing difference in name,
Though language and customs may
vary.
One love for this banner we claim.
o. Happy the people united,
Like stars in their splendor above,
So share in the blessings Of nature,
And scatter those blessings In love.

The march of the nations is forward,
Each star in the armament gloWs,
But brighter by far is the knowledge
The God of all nations Destows.

Rejoicing their freedom to share.
Arise for the good of all races,
The peace of tie future prepare.
