223. Guard the Flag

1 Guard the flag, guard the flag of our native land,
Guard the flag of liberty;
Guard well the flag with heart and hand;
God save the banner of the free!
Sons of the nation, hold it aloft,
Bravely its foes defy;
Our beautiful flag, the hope of the world,
Ever shall wave on high!

Refrain:
Guard the flag, guard the flag of our native land,
Guard the flag of liberty;
Guard well the flag with heart and hand;
God save the banner of the free!

2 Guard the flag, guard the flag that our fathers bore;
Let its pride our glory be;
O let it wave o’er sea and shore,
The starry emblem of the free!
Though ‘neath it marching onward to war,
Though ‘neath its folds in peace,
Our motto shall be to guard still the flag,
Never our vigil cease! [Refrain]
