FROM GLORY UNTO GLORY

AMERICAN FLAG SONG


1776

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.


1861

O wild the later storm that shook
