 AMERICAN ANTHEM 
 
 EDWIN FAIRFAX NAULTY 
 
 DEDICATED TO 
 ANNE HAREWOOD WASHINGTON 
 
 What we have gained in blood and fire. 
 
 We hold in peace and love and truth. 
 We guard the freedom of the sire 
 
 With all the strength and faith of youth ! 
 With dauntless hearts we seek the best. 
 
 In peace or war for Right we stand ! 
 In North and South in East and West, 
 
 One God, one folk, one flag, one land! 
 
 America! Our lives for Thee! 
 
 America ! Forever free ! 
 
 Our heritage we shall defend 
 
 With sword to foe but love for friend. 
 
 And God to guide us to the end. 
 
 America!

Our hearths, our homes, our kith, our kin 
 
 In love we bind unto our souls ; 
 For these we seek our bread to win, 
 
 They are the end of all our goals 
 Save two — and these — with willing hand 
 
 To serve our God and Native Land, 
 Each one as best be to his parts. 
 
 And all of us with all our hearts. 
 
 America ! Our lives for Thee ! 
 America ! Forever free ! 
 Our heritage we shall defend 
 With sword to foe but love for friend, 
 And God to guide us to the end. 
 America !
