Oh, Col-umbia, the gem of the ocean, the home of the brave and the free
The shrine of each patriot's de-votion, a world offers homage to thee.
Thy mandates make heroes as-semble, when liberty's form stands in view
Thy banners make tyranny tremble, when borne by the red, white, and blue!
When borne by the red, white, and blue! When borne by the red, white, and blue!
Thy banners make tyranny tremble, when borne by the red, white, and blue!
When war winged its wide deso-lation, and threatened the land to de-form
The ark then of freedom's foun-dation, Co-lumbia rode safe through the storm
With the garlands of vict'ry a-bout her, when so proudly she bore her brave crew
