 Let its colors speak for you That you still are standing true, True in sight of God and man To the work that flag began.

Show the flag that all may see That you serve humanity. Let it whisper to the breeze That comes singing through the trees That whatever storms descend You’ll be faithful to the end.

Show the flag and let it fly, Cheering every passer-by— Men that may have stepped aside, May have lost their old-time pride, May behold it there, and then Consecrate themselves again.

Show the flag! The day is gone When men blindly hurry on Serving only gods of gold; Now the spirit that was cold Warms again to courage fine. Show the flag and fall in line!
