O Columbia, the gem of the ocean,
the home of the brave and the free
The shrine of each patriot's devotion,
a world offers homage to thee.
Thy mandates make heroes assemble,
when liberty's form stands in view
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
when borne by the red, white, and blue!
When borne by the red, white, and blue!
When borne by the red, white, and blue!
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
when borne by the red, white, and blue!
When war winged it s wide desolations,
and threatened the land to deform
The ark then of freedom's foundation,
Columbia, rode safe through the storm
With the garlands of vict'ry about her,
when so proudly she bore her brave crew
With her flag proudly floating before her,
the boast of the red, white, and blue!
The boast of the red, white, and blue!
The boast of the red, white, and blue!
With her flag proudly floating before her,
the boast of the red, white, and blue!
The star-spangled banner bring hither,
o'er Columbia's true sons let it wave
May the wreaths they have won never wither,
nor its stars cease to shine on the brave
May the service united ne'er sever,
but hold to their colors so true
The army and navy forever,
three cheers for the red, white, and blue!
Three cheers for the red, white, and blue!
Three cheers for the red, white, and blue!
The army and navy forever,
three cheers for the red, white, and blue!
