Issued by the Commissions on Training Camp Activities of the Army and Navy Departments. 1. THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER. Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the clouds of the fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Oh, thus be it ever when freedmen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desola tion; Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! 7 2. AMERICA. (F.) My country, 'tis of thee, Land where my fathers died! My native country, thee, I love thy rocks and rills, Let music swell the breeze, Our fathers' God, to Thee, To Thee we sing: Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light; Protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King! 3. BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC. (B flat.) Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on. I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred / circling camps; They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaming lanips; His day is marching on. Glory, glory, hallelujah! etc. He hath sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat. Oh, be swift, my soul,to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on. Glory, glory, hallelujah! etc. 4. THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE. O Columbia, the gem of the ocean, The star-spangled banner bring hither, May the wreaths they have won never wither, But hold to their colors so true; The army and navy forever, Three cheers for the red, white, and blue! Three cheers for the red, white, and blue! Three cheers for the red, white, and blue! The army and navy forever, Three cheers for the red, white, and blue! 5. BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM. (A flat.) Yes, we'll rally round the flag, boys, we'll rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of freedom! We will rally from the hillside, we'll rally from the plain, Shouting the battle cry of freedom! The Union forever, hurrah, boys, hurrah! Down with the traitor and up with the stars! While we rally round the flag, boys, rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of freedom. We are springing to the call of our brothers gone before, Shouting the battle cry of freedom! And we'll fill the vacant ranks with a million free men more, Shouting the battle cry of freedom! The Union forever, hurrah, boys, hurrah! etc. |
