  1. Let free- men's hearts grow bold - er;
    Let free-dom's ban-ner fiy
    Where God's four winds en - fold her
    To God's un - chart - ed sky.
    His Word and not an - oth er's
    Is pledged to lib - er - ty;
    His hand hath made men broth - ers,
    His truth shall make men free.
  2. Where free- dom's flag is fly - ing
    In lands a - cross the sea,
    On thee we are re - ly - ing,
    Great God, we count on thee!
    For right is right for ev -er,
    Tho' men have crowned the wrong,
    And truth shall per - ish nev - er
    Great God, how long ? how long ?
  3. When our brave lads are dy ing
    In lands a - cross the sea,
    On thee we are re - ly - ing,
    Great God, they die for thee!
    And if we lay them sleep - ing
    In lands be - yond the sea,
    God have them in thy keep - ing
    We leave them there with thee.
    A-men.
