| Gleaming in white and crimson music gay | F |
| Floats from the patriot host and cheers array | F |
| Great shouts around its foldings Long in state | G |
| Flag of the brave and free wave o'er this day | F |
| To bring the world rejoicings which await | G |
| The natal hours of might the day we celebrate | G |

| How fears the tyrant in his capital | D |

| Her full libations on the trembling shores | K |
| Till earth reels with her triumph and the voice | L |
| Of millions mad with merriment far soars | K |
| From sea to ocean with entrancing noise | M |
| Till nations hear the cry and continents rejoice | L |
| - | |
| Wave on thou flag of freedom and this day | F |
| Still live in hearts of nations O thou Land | N |
| Where Man was first the monarch where the sway | F |
| Of birth exalted first was broken stand | N |
| To guard the helpless with a mighty hand | N |
| And give the weak protection scout the ban | O |
| Which tyrants utter and with growing band | N |
| Of noble freemen serve thy primal plan | O |
| And bind all nations in the Brotherhood of Man | O |
