I

O dark the night and dim the day When first our flag arose; It fluttered bravely in the fray To meet o'erwhelming foes. Our fathers saw the splendor shine, They dared and suffered all; They won our freedom by the sign-- The holy sign, the radiant sign-- Of the stars that never fall.

Chorus

All hail to thee, Young Glory! Among the flags of earth We'll ne'er forget the story Of thy heroic birth.
