Part 41 (2/2)

Of thee our heart's desire Foretells a golden story, For thou hast come through fire.

1917

O fiercer than all wars before That raged on land or sea, The Giant Robber's world-wide war For the things that shall not be!

Thy sister banners hold the line; To thee, dear flag, they call; And thou hast joined them with the sign-- The heavenly sign, the victor sign-- Of the stars that never fall.

_Chorus_

All hail to thee, New Glory!

We follow thee unfurled To write the larger story Of Freedom for the World.

BRITAIN, FRANCE, AMERICA

The rough expanse of democratic sea Which parts the lands that live by liberty Is no division; for their hearts are one.

To fight together till their cause is won.

For land and water let us make our pact, And seal the solemn word with valiant act: No continent is firm, no ocean pure, Until on both the rights of man are sure.

April, 1917.

THE RED CROSS

Sign of the Love Divine That bends to bear the load Of all who suffer, all who bleed, Along life's th.o.r.n.y road:

Sign of the Heart Humane, That through the darkest fight Would bring to wounded friend and foe A ministry of light:

O dear and holy sign, Lead onward like a star!

The armies of the just are thine, And all we have and are.
