Battle Cry of Freedom
midi music ~ The Battle Cry of Freedom known also as Rally 'round the Flag arrangement owned and copyrighted by Gerald Ross
Yes, we'll rally 'round the flag, boys
we'll rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom;
We will rally from the hillside,
we'll gather from the plain,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.
Chorus
"Our Country" forever ~ Hurrah! boys, Hurrah!
Bright in its glory shines ev'ry star,
While we rally 'round the flag, boys,
rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.
We are springing to the call of our Brothers
gone before,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom;
And we'll fill the vacant ranks with a million
patriots more;
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.
Oh! then rally 'round the flag, boys, wherever
it may wave,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom;
And we'll fill the vacant ranks with a million
patriots more;
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.
During the holiday season just past it was heartwarming to see the
illuminations of our faith and our love of country on the lawns across
America. We mingle "church and state" at our homes, because we know
they are intertwined in our hearts and minds. We are a free people and
our freedom comes from God, therefore we are morally compelled to
defend it. Our president has declared that the year 2002 will be a war
year for us. Pray for our just cause, our leaders and our courageous
defenders, so that we may all have a safe New Year and leave a legacy
of happier new years to those who follow us here in this blessed land
and throughout the free world. Say a special prayer for a Jewish child
in Israel.
