“A message to bond and thrall to wake, For whenever we come, we twain, The throne of the tyrant shall rock and quake, And his menace be void and vain, For you are lords of a strong land, And we are lords of the main.” (_While_ BRITAIN _speaks_, IRELAND, SCOTLAND, _and_ ENGLAND _group flags beside Stars and Stripes_.) _AMERICA_ (_to Canada_): “Valiant neighbor of my home land, The flower of thy Canadian youth; At the front where danger gathers Bravely stand for God and Truth.” (_to Italy_): “In the bright and sunny Southland, Where thy sons are fighting sore, Garibaldi’s spirit liveth As the wine of life they pour.” (_to All_): “Noble Sisterhood of Nations, I have joined thy vanguard, too; Freedom’s torch is brightly burning, And I pass it on to you.” (_Waves torch and all light electric torches which have been concealed; these they raise aloft as_ AMERICA _continues_): “Bear aloft its sacred message To all nations of the earth, Till a world-wide peace forever Comes to bless us with new birth.” NO. 20. _CHORUS_: HAIL, COLUMBIA: Firm, united let us be, Rallying around our Liberty, As a band of brothers joined, Peace and safety we shall find.

Flag of a mighty nation waving aloft unfurled; Kissed by the sun of heaven, caressed by the winds of the world. Greater than kingly power, greater than all mankind; Conceived in the need of the hour, inspired by the Master Mind; Over the living children, over the laureled grave, Streaming on high in the cloudless sky, banner our fathers gave. Under thy spangled folds thy children await to give All that they have or are that the flag they love shall live. NO. 22. _CHORUS_: UNDER THE STARS AND STRIPES:
