Hurrah for the flag of the free! </br> May it wave as our standard forever, </br> The gem of the land and the sea, </br> The banner of the right. </br> Let tyrants remember the day </br> When our fathers with mighty endeavor </br> Proclaimed as they marched to the fray </br> That by their might and by their right </br> It waves forever.

Let martial note in triumph float </br> And liberty extend its mighty hand </br> A flag appears 'mid thunderous cheers, </br> The banner of the Western land. </br> The emblem of the brave and true </br> Its folds protect no tyrant crew; </br> The red and white and starry blue </br> Is freedom's shield and hope.
