The Old Red, White and Blue 0 Flag of our dear Country, Blest banner of our land! We love your holy colors,— We love their meaning grand. The red bar stands for courage, For the blood that has been shed On mountains, hills and valleys, In rivers as they sped. The white bar stands for purity, Which comes from heaven above, That gives our noble Country, The gift of God’s own love. Each bright star tells its story Of the state for which it stands. From California’s sunny slopes To old New England sands. The stars, in fields of heaven’s blue. Beam kindly down o’er all. And speak of that bright home that waits Our brave boys that must fall. O noble flag! through thy proud folds, God’s living message runs. Inspirer of our fathers, Inspire to-day their sons. Look proudly down upon our boys, And cheer each noble soul. Oh, lead them on to victory, Their God-appointed goal. Breathe truth, and utter courage And counsel wise and right Into our President’s great heart; Direct him in God’s sight. And when these fearsome days are o’er To loyal hearts and true. Wrap thy folds round the hearts that bleed — Our own Red, White and Blue. —L. Fitzgerald.
