Float high, Old Glory, and forever.
Float DER the land and Ger the sea
For tyranny and bondage thou shalt
sever.
And bring to every nation Liberty.

Old Glory floats between the earth and
Heaven,
Majestcally she waveth, to and fro!

vancing
Shall reverently uncover at the sight;
And, with uplifted eye, toward Heaven
Shall bow before Old Glory's power and
might.
