Should our blue stars turn TO gold
Our earthly hopes in ruins lie,
As down thru time the years unfold
The light they cast will never die.
For down those years future glows
With peace on earth, good will to men
And how twas gained will oft be told
And yet be told again,
OF how our men went out to save
This world from Hell's estate.
OF how our women freely gave
Their best, their all, that they Nigh
make
A world that's clean and safe to treaC
No human monsters here,
The seas no longer stained with red,
A world that's free from fear.
They've carried DER the Flag thu
i frees,
Unconquered yet by any foe,
\ 1t flies aloft in frances breeze
H And bids our allies onward GO.
| We'd like to take our place by them.
/ Our men DER seas today,
| We'd like to march thru Berlin when
The last obstruction's swept away.
\ But ours the part to cheer them on
H To keep them strong and true
Il To do our best behind their guns
Il To keep our stars of blue.
Il Yet. Christ himself gave up his life
II To free this world from sin.
II So can we make our sacrifice
II The cause of Christ to win.
