Lift our banner high, Lift our banner high! Free as air itself, let its colors fly! ‘Tis the blood-bought flag Of the brave and true; Bless its stripes and stars, bless its field of blue.

Lift it high, Lift it high, For which heroes fought, for which heroes die; Lift it high, Lift it high, ‘Tis the noblest flag beneath the bending sky.

Lift it high, Lift it high, For which heroes fought, for which heroes die; Lift it high, Lift it high, ‘Tis the noblest flag beneath the bending sky.

Verse 3

Lift our banner high! Let us faithful be To its waving folds, sing of Liberty; Let no stain of sin Mar its beauty bright; May our nation’s pride be the love of right.

Lift it high, Lift it high, For which heroes fought, for which heroes die; Lift it high, Lift it high, ‘Tis the noblest flag beneath the bending sky.
