The army Of today,
There is voice that sounds today
In every corner Of the land it strikes the hearts
b of all.
1t reacheth to the humblest cot
Meath bluest skies or gray;
The voice that riseth from the ranks
The army of today!
And every man Of them hath heard
And answering to the call,
Is rallying round the flag today.
God bless them and ALL
nations heart shall swell with pride
And thrill, where love hath sway, the bravest
The army of today!
All fired with blood of ancestors who came from
And made America place where every man is
free,
Who shrnnk not from the fray
The boys who bear the hearts of gold
The army Of today!
They're gathering now from everywhere
With manly might and power,
And everyone who's marching there
Is hero of the hour.
Our flag will never look so grand,
Nor will ii wave so gay
As ,,y when it floats in glory DER
The army of today
May God thpow His protecting arm about each
one Is the sincere prayer Of one in sympaty
