Justice and truth must reign,
Power of the brute must cease.
Aye, we will follow the flag,
Gladly her work we’ll do,
Banishing wrongs of old,
Founding the truth anew.
What though our guns must speak,
What though brave men must die,
Ages of truth to come
All this shall justify.
Men in the charms of peace,
Basking in Freedom’s sun,
Some day shall bless our flag
After our work is done.
Aye, we will follow the flag
Wherever she goes,
Into the tropic sun,
Into the northern snows.
Fearlessly, on we’ll go
Into the cruel strife,
Gladly the few shall die,
Winning for many, life.
