to love mercy and to walk humbly
with thy God

Love mercy, treat prisoners well,

you study the life and teachings of

The Unfurling

There's a streak across the sky line
That is cleaning in the sun,
Watchers from the lighthouse towers
Signalled it to foreign Powers
Just as daylight had begun,
Message thrilling,
Hopes fulfilling
To those fighting DER the seas.
ITS the flag we call Old Glory
That's unfurling to the breeze"
Can you see the flashing emblem
OF our country's high ideal?
Keep your lifted eyes upon 1t
And draw Joy and courage from 1T,
For it stands for what is real,
Freedoms calling
To the falling
From oppreSsionS hard decrees.
It's the flag we've named Old Glory
You see floating in the breeze.
Glorious flag we raise so proudly.
Stars and stripes, red. white and
blue,
You have been the inspiration
OF an ever growing nation
Such as this world never knew.
Peace and Justice,
Freedom, Progress,
Are the blessings we can seize
When the flag we call old Glory
Is unfurling to the breeze.
When the cry of battling nations
Reaches US across the space
OF the wild, tumultuous ocean
Hearts are stirred with deep emotion
For the saving of the race!
Peace foregoing,
Aid bestowing,
Bugles blowing,
First we drop on bended knees,
Then with shouts our grand Old Glory
We set Haunting to the breeze.

Transcript.
