Three colors has the nation's flag our hearts delight to see,
The Red, and White, and starry Blue, our pledge of liberty.
O Red, White, and Blue, our colors so true,
An emblem fair of heav'nly things, to help us on our way;
O Red, White, and Blue, the old and the new,
Our banner of gladness, we hail it today!
Red speaks to us of Jesus' blood for all the whole world shed,
That we might rise to life and light, through Him who once was dead.
O Red, White, and Blue, our colors so true,
An emblem fair of heav'nly things, to help us on our way;
O Red, White, and Blue, the old and the new,
Our banner of gladness, we hail it today!
White tells of those who, pure in heart, shall see the Savior's face,
And in His likeness daily grow, in heaven's holy place.
O Red, White, and Blue, our colors so true,
An emblem fair of heav'nly things, to help us on our way;
O Red, White, and Blue, the old and the new,
Our banner of gladness, we hail it today!
Blue tells us of the faithful ones who like the stars shall be,
Bright jewels in the Victor's crown, through all eternity.
O Red, White, and Blue, our colors so true,
An emblem fair of heav'nly things, to help us on our way;
O Red, White, and Blue, the old and the new,
Our banner of gladness, we hail it today!
