For the glory of our land
To ensure our peace and freedom
Hearken to our chief’s command
Never shirk and never weary
To defend our hearth and home
We hold dear each hill and valley
Lakes and oceans white with foam
Never will we knuckle under
Any tyrant’s bold demand
We’ll defend our country’s honor
Every inch of our land
Woe to him who courts the favor
Of that small minority
Who would sell us down the river
Threaten our security
There are some, I know not wherefore
They are men who would destroy
Our democracy and freedom
Which we cherish and enjoy
We must stand at once united
Against this foe wherever he be
Ensure our everlasting freedom
For us and our posterity
—Julius Stark, October 1941
