K s ia? A SONG FOR OUR FLAG A but of color agalnst the blue Hues of the mornlng blue for true And red for the klndllng lnght of flame And whzte for a natlon s stasnless fame Oh' flung It forth to the winds afar Wlth hope In nts every shlnnng star Under nts folds wherever found Thank God we have freedom s holy ground Don t you love at as out at floats From the schoolhouse peak and glad young throats Sung of the banner that aye shall be Symbol of honor and victory? Don t you thrlll when the marchlng feet Of yubulant soldlers shake the street And the bugles shrnll and the trumpets call And the red whlte and blue IS over us all? Don t you pray amld startnng tears lt may never be furled through age long years? A song for our flag our Country s boast That gathers beneath It a mlghty host Long may at wave o'er the goodly land We hold nn fee 'neath our Father's hand For God and llberty evermore May that banner stand from shore to shore, Never to those hugh meanlngs lost, Never wlth allen standards crossed, But always vallant and pure and true, Our starry flag red, whlte, and blue Margaret E Sangster i 29495
