A. G. RIDDOCH
FLAG of our Faith: lead on--
Across the sand--blown plain,
The deep and trackless main,
When duty's trumpets blow.
Where frowns the freeman's foe,
And right crushed to the sod
Lifts soul to righteous God.
Flag of our Faith: lead on--
Flag of our Hope: lead on--
When stormy clouds hang low
And chilling north-winds blow
And days are long and drear.
When nights breed grief and fear;
A rainbow lights the sky
Whene'er its colors fly.
Flag of our Hope: lead on--
Flag of our Love: lead on--
In loyal hearts supreme,
Fairer than love's first dream,
Our first choice and our last,
Brightened by every blast.
Oh, emblem pure and sweet
Thou can'st not know defeat.
Flag of our Love: lead on--
Flag of our Home: lead on--
Beneath thy folds we rest,
We live and love our best,
The fairest roses blow, ' The richest harvests grow,
And care-free children play
And gladden every day.
Flag of our Home: lead on--
L'ENVOI--
Flag of our Faith, our Hope, our Love,
Flag of our Home, wave on above.
We'll live, we'll fight, we'll die for you--
Flag Everlasting, Red, White and Blue.
