From Glory Unto Glory + 

American Flag Song + 

O dark the night and dim the day + 

When first our flag arose; + 

It fluttered bravely in the fray + 

To meet o’erwhelming foes. + 

Our fathers saw the splendor shine, + 

They dared and suffered all; + 

They won our freedom by the sign⁠— + 

The holy sign, the radiant sign⁠— + 

Of the stars that never fall. + 

All hail to thee, Young Glory! + 

Among the flags of earth + 

We’ll ne’er forget the story + 

Of thy heroic birth. + 

O wild the later storm that shook + 

The pillars of the State, + 

When brother against brother took + 

The final arms of fate. + 

But union lived and peace divine + 

Enfolded brothers all; + 

The flag floats o’er them with the sign⁠— + 

The loyal sign, the equal sign⁠— + 

Of the stars that never fall. + 

All hail to thee, Old Glory! + 

Of thee our heart’s desire + 

Foretells a golden story, + 

For thou hast come through fire. + 

O fiercer than all wars before + 

That raged on land or sea, + 

The Giant Robber’s world-wide war + 

For the things that shall not be! + 

Thy sister banners hold the line; + 

To thee, dear flag, they call; + 

And thou hast joined them with the sign⁠— + 

The heavenly sign, the victor sign⁠— + 

Of the stars that never fall. + 

All hail to thee, New Glory! + 

We follow thee unfurled + 

To write the larger story + 

Of Freedom for the World. + 
