434 GRAY LADY AND THE BIRDS 
HYMN OF THE FLAG 
(Dedicated to the Army and Navy) 
North, South, East, and West 
Rise and join your hands. 
Native born and Brothers drawn 
From many Fatherlands. 
Rise ye Nation of the morn, 
Land where Liberty was born; 
Ye who fear no ruler’s nod, 
Ye who only kneel to God — 
Rise — Salute your Flag! 
Stars upon its azure throng, 
Stars for states that stride along, 
Stars of hope that make men strong. 
Blood-red bars for battle done, 
Steel-white stars for peace well won. 
Rise — Salute this Flag! 
North, South, East, and West 
Bring your tribute then. 
Gold ye have and grain enough 
To feed earth’s starving men. 
Ye who tent on distant shores, 
Ye whose name the ocean roars, 
Ye who toil in mine and field, 
Ye who pluck the cotton’s yield, 
Rise — Salute your flag! 
North, South, East, and West 
Rise and join your hands; 
Native born and brothers drawn 
From many Fatherlands. 
One ye stand in common cause, 
One to break oppression’s laws,
