| There's a blot upon the Banner the Banner of the Free | A |

| May the Lord now bleach this Banner the Banner of the Free | A |
| And keep that Banner floating as a pledge 'twixt you and me | A |

| Our Banner then unsullied this Banner of the Free | A |
| Will be a Brother's Banner held up by you and me | A |
| And like a Christian people as example unto others | F |
| We will wave the Flag of Brothers on that Morning | C |
