Flag of the Free.

BY REV. ALGERNON S. CLARK.

Flag of the Free! Your flag and mine;

What memories 'round its folds entwine!

Its stars all tell of union dear;

Its bars of Freedom's Birthplace here,

Flag of the Free! Flag of the Free!

So glorious on land or sea!

Flag of the Free! Your flag and mine;

Its mission sealed in God's design—

To lead in march of truths sublime

Adorn these wondrous years of Time.

Flag of the Free! Flag of the Free!

So glorious on land or sea!

Flag of the Free! Your flag and mine;

May e'er its folds in beauty shine,

To sheer, to bless, to point the way,

As God shall guide, to Peace's sweet day.

Flag of the Free! Flag of the Free!

So glorious on land or sea.

        Round Lake.
