| Now white are the pages you bring us to fill | D |
| with the tales of our deeds | E |
| And I pray we shall square at the finish the work | F |
| of our lives with our creeds | E |

| Oh child of a year do you wonder what here | G |
| upon earth you shall find | H |
| America shows you a people united in purpose | I |
| and mind | H |

| And here to a world that is bleeding and weary | L |
| and heartsick you come | M |
| Whatever you've brought us of duty we'll | N |
| answer the call of your drum | M |
| - | |
| We may weep in our grief and our sorrows we | L |
| may bend 'neath the might of the blow | O |
| But never our courage shall falter and never | P |
| we'll run from the foe | O |
| We know not how troubled our pathways shall | Q |
| be nor how sorely beset | H |
| But I pray we shall cling to our honor as men | R |
| and never our purpose forget | H |
