&mdash;Henry A. Lavely.

 

 

All hail! starry flag of the nation,
 * The boast of the brave and the free;

We hail thee with glad acclamation,
 * Our hearts and our hopes are with thee.

Yes, peerless on land and the ocean;
 * Revered by the loyal and true;

We hail thee with steadfast devotion&mdash;
 * Three cheers for the Red, White, and Blue!

Chorus:⊣:Three cheers for the Red, White, and Blue!:|| Our Old Glory banner, forever! Three cheers for the Red, White, and Blue! In days when the war cry resounded,
 * When Liberty&rsquo;s name was assailed,

Thy foes were full often confounded.
 * Thy cause, glorious banner prevailed.

The century past chants thy praises,
 * And when brightly shall dawn every new,

Each son of Columbia raises
 * Three cheers for the Red, White, and Blue!
