| Have borne thee oft before | B |
| Into hot battles' hell lit fires | C |

| Brave Attucks fell upon the Plain | G |
| Thy stripes first crimsoning | F |
| - | |
| Thy might and majesty we hurl | H |

| The stricken in the wilderness | L |
| Shall look to thee and live | M |

| What matter if where Boreas roars | N |

| What matter if where eagle soars | N |
| Or in the sunlit isles | O |

| Above the bluish brine | Q |
| Emblazoned ensign of the brave | P |
| And Liberty enshrine | Q |

| Flag of the free still float on high | R |
| Through every age to come | S |
| Bright beacon of the azure sky | R |
| True light of Freedom's dome | T |
| 'Till nations all shall cease to grope | U |
| In vain for liberty | V |
| O shine last lingering star of hope | U |
| Of all humanity | V |
