Who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life,

America. America, may God thy gold refine,

Till all success be nobleness, and every gain divine."

Thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears,

America, America, God shed His grace on thee,

And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea."

From every mountain side,

Let freedom ring."

With freedom's holy light,

Protect us by thy might,

Great God, our King."

Thy Will be done if Thou decree

     That I shall die afield.

But let me go face to the foe...

     Sustain me lest I yield.

Let no man cry he saw me fly

     The battle's agony.

And let me die as a man should die

     In a fight for Liberty.

G.E. Lord, Pfc
