Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the clouds of the fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night thfttxrar flag was still there. Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Oh, thus be it ever when freedmen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desola- tion; Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto : " In God is our trust ! " And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave ! 7 SONGS OF THE SOLDIERS AND SAILOES. 2. AMERICA. My country, 'tis of thee, Swe-at land of liberty,, Of thee I sing: Land where my fathers died f Land of the pilgrims' pride ! From ev'ry mountain side Let freedom ring! My native country, thee, Land of the noble free, Thy name I love: I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills ; My heart with rapture thrills Like that above. Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom's song: Let mortal tongues awake; Let all that breathe partake ; Let rocks their silence break The sound prolong. Our fathers' God, to Thee, Author of liberty, To Thee we sing: Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light; Protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King! SONGS OF THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 9 3, BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC. (B flat.) Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord ; He is trampling cut the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored ; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword ; His truth is marching on. Glory, glory, hallelujah ! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah ! His truth is marching on. I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred / circling camps ; They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaming lamps ; His day is marching on. Glory, glory, hallelujah ! etc. He hath sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judg- ment seat. Oh, be swift, my soul ,to answer Him ! be jubilant, my feet ! Our God is marching on. Glory, glory, hallelujah ! etc. 10 SONGS OP THE SOLDIEES A2TB SMLOES. 4. THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE. (A flat.) O Columbia, the gem of the ocean, The home of the brave and the free, The shrine of each patriot's devotion, A world offers homage to thee. Thy mandates make heroes assemble, 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! The star-spangled banner bring hither, O'er Columbia's true sons let it wave, May the wreaths they have won never wither, Nor its stars cease to shine on the brave: May thy service, united ne'er sever, But hold to their colors so true ; The army and navy forever, Three cheers for the red, white, and blue! Three cheers for the red, white, and blue ! Three cheers for the red, white, and blue ! The army and navy forever, Three cheers for the red, white, and blue ! SONGS OF THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 11 5. BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM. (A flat.) 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 rally from the plain, Shouting the battle cry of freedom ! The Union forever, hurrah, boys, hurrah! Down with the traitor and up with the stars ! "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 free- men more, Shouting the battla cry of freedom ! The Union forever, hurrah, boys, hurrah ! etc. 12 SONGS OF THE SOLDIESS AND SAILOES. 6. LA MARSEILLAISE. (A flat.) Arise, ye children of the nation, The clay of glory now is here! See the hosts of dark oppression Their blood-stained banners rear, Their blood-stained banners rear ! Do ye not heed? roaring the tyrants go, Scattering homes and peace; Our sons, our comrades face the foe, The wounds of war increase. To arms ! Ye warriors all ! Your bold battalions call! March on, ye free ! Death shall be ours, Or glorious liberty ! REFRAIN. Aux arnaes, citoyens ! Formes vos bataillons I Marchons, marchons ! Qu'nn sang impur Abreuve nos sillons!

Amid the nations, glorious, Thou standest, proud and free ! Ko tyrant shall enslave thee, Thy sun arises bright ; All hail to those who gave thee New Freedom's sacred light. Young Russia, hail, victorious! All praise we chant to thee ! Amid the nations, glorious. Thou standest, proud and free; A song of countless voices Resounds from shore to shore, The Russian folk rejoices With Freedom evermore. Young Russia, hail, victorious! All praise we chant to thee ! Amid the nations, glorious, Thou standest, proud and free ! (Copyright, 1917, by G. Schinccr.) 14 SONGS OF THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 8. THESE THINGS SHALL BE. (A flat.) These things shall be! A loftier race Than e'er the world hath known shall rise, With flame of freedom in their souls And light of knowledge in their eyes, Nation with nation, land with land, Unarmed shall live as comrades free, In ev'ry heart and brain shall throb The pulse of one fraternity. New arts shall bloom, of loftier mold, And mightier music thrill the skies; And ev'ry life shall be a song. When all the earth is paradise. There shall be no more sin nor shame, Tho' pain and passion may not die, For man shall be at one with God In bonds of firm necessity. (Copyright, 1917, by G. Schirmer.) SONGS OF THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 15 9. AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL. O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain ! America ! America ! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea ! O beautiful for pilgrim feet, Whose stern, impassioned stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness ! America ! America ! God mend thine ev'ry flaw. Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law ! O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved, And mercy more than life ! America ! America ! May God thy gold refine, Till all success be nobleness, And ev'ry gain divine ! O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam, Undimm'd by human tears! America ! America ! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea !

Days are very long ; I'm a-growing weary only i Listening for your song. Old remembrances are thronging > Through my memory, Till it seems the world is full of dreams Just to call you back to me. There's a long, long trail a-winding Into the land of my dreams, Where the nightingales are singing And the white moon beams : There's a long, long night of waiting Until my dreams all come true, Till the day when I'll be going down That long, long trail with you.

They wore .summoned from the hillside, They were called in from the glen, And the Country found them ready At the stirring call for men. Let no tears add to their hardship, As the .soldiers pass i\ : And although your heart is breaking, Make it sing this cheery song. Keep the Home fires burning, While your hearts are yearning. Though your lads are far away They dream of Home; There's a silver lining Through the dark cloud shining Turn the dark cloud inside out, Till the boys come Home.

Tho' I am far across the ocean blue, Each lonely hour my heart remembers you; Each tender look, each word I used to know,, Comes back to, back to me, From out the long ago. When the great red dawn is shining, When the waiting hours are past, When the tears of night are ended And I see the day at last, I shall come down the road of sunshine, To a heart that is fond and true, When the great red dawn is shining, Back to home, back to love, and you.

Over there, over there, Send the word, send the word over there, That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming, The drums rum turaming everywhere.

I may be gone for a long, long time, Long, long time ; long, long time ; But when I go You will know That I'll always pine For the day when you'll be mine. Be true to me for a long, long time, Rain or shine, sweetheart mine, And I'll be just as true to you As to the Red, White, and Blue, Though I'm gone for a long, long time. (Copyright, 1917, by Broadway Music Corporation, Will Von Tilzer, president. 145 West Forty-filth Street, New York City.) 20. SEND ME A CURL. There's a corner in my heart That I'm keeping all apart For the little girl I left behind. I can see her waiting there With the flowers in her hair And the roses in her cheeks entwined? So when you're thinking of me over yonder, When you wonder what I want to wear, Send a pretty little curl From the sweetest little girl in my home town.

I'LL WED THE GIRL I LEFT BEHIND. I can picture to-night by the dim, candle light The girl I left behind. I can see her once more by the old cabin door, Watching with love divine. Oh, I gave her the ring and I promised to bring, Bring the parson back and make her mine, So I'm going right back, hang my hat on the rack* Ana wed the girl I left behind. (Used by permission of M. Witmark & Sens, publishers aad owners of the copy- right.; 24. I DON'T CARE WHERE THEY SEND ME. Oh, I don't care where they send me, Or what it is I have to do ; And I don't care what may happen Or where I am when I get thru ; But I do care for you, Dearie, With your dreaming eyes of blue; So while I'm fighting over here, My heart is home with you.

I have always been a wand'rer, Over land and sea, yet a moon-beam on the water Casts a spell o'er me, A vision fair I see, Again I seem to be : Back home again in Indiana, And it seems that I can see The gleaming candle light still shining bright Through the sycamores for me. The new-mown hay sends all its fragrance From the fields I used to roam ; When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash, Then I long for my Indiana home. (Used by permission of Shapiro. Bernstein & Co.) 26. WHEN JOHNNY COMES MARCHING HOME. (Gr minor.) When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah, hurrah ! We'll give him a hearty welcome then, hurrah, hurrah !

There's a girl I love who waits on Lookout Mountain, with a mountain of love for me ; On the winding path where first we found each % other, that is where I long to be ; She is sweeter than the songs the birds are singing, back home in Tennessee, There's a girl I love who waits on Lookout Mountain, with a mountain of love for me. (Used by permission of Shapiro, Bernstein & Co,) SONGS OE THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 27 29. MOTHER MACHREE. There's a spot in my heart which no colleen may own ; There's a depth in my soul never sounded or known. There's a place in my mem'ry, my life, that you fill, No other can take it, no one ever will. Sure, I love the dear silver that shines in your hair, And the brow that's all furrowed and wrinkled with care. I kiss the dear fingers so toil-worn for me, Oh ! God bless you and keep you, Mother Machree. (Used by permission of M. Witmark & Sons, publishers and owners of the copy- . right.) 30. A PERFECT DAY. (A flat.) [When you come to the end of a perfect day, And you sit alone with your thought, While the chimes ring out with a carol gay, For the joy that the day has brought. Do you think what the end of a perfect day Can mean to a tired heart, .When the sun goes down with a flaming ray And the dear friends have to part? Well, this is the end of a perfect day, Near the end of a journey, too ; But it leaves a thought that is big and strong With a wish that is kind and true. For mem'ry has painted this perfect day With colors that never fade, And we find at the end of a perfect clay The soul of a friend we've made. (Used by permission of Carrie Jacobs Bond & Sons, publishers.) 28 SONGS OF THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 31. THE SUNSHINE OF YOUR SMILE. (E flat.) Dear face, that holds so sweet a smile for me, Were you not mine, how dark the world would be ! I know no light above that ^ould replace Love's radiant sunshine in your dear, dear face. Give me your smile, the lovelight in your eyes, Life could not hold a fairer paradise. Give me the right to love you all the while My world forever, the sunshine of your smile* (Used by permission of T. B. Harms & Francis, Day & Hunter.) 82. MY HERO. Come ! Come ! I love you only, My heart is true, Come ! Come ! my life is lonely, I long for you, Come ! Come ! Naught can efface you, My arms are aching now to embrace you, Thou art divine ! Come ! Come ! I love you only, Come, hero mine. CUsed by permission of Jerome II. Remick & Co.) SONGS OF THE SOLDIERS AND SAILOES. 29 33. "YAAKA HULA." (A flat.) I'm coining back to you, my Hula Lu.

(F) Once in the dear dead days beyond recall, When on the worlds the mists began, to fall, Out of the dreams that rose in happy throng,. Low to our hearts love sang an old, sweet song. And in the dusk, where fell the twilight's gleam, Softly it wove itself into our dream. Just a song at twilight, when the lights are low, And the flickering shadows softly come and go. Tho' the heart be weary, sad the day and long, Still to us at twilight comes love's old sweet song, Comes love's old sweet song. 14 SONGS OF THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 54. CARRY ME BACK TO OLD VIRGINNY. (A flat.) Carry me back to old Virginny, There's where the cotton and the corn and tatoes grow, There's where the birds warble sweet in the spring- time, There's where the old darkey's heart has long'd to go. There's where I labored so hard for old Massa ' Day after day in the fields of yellow corn. Ko place on earth do I love more sincerely Than old Virginny, the State where I was born. Carry me back to old Virginny, There's where the cotton and the corn and tatoes grow. There's where the birds warble sweet In the springtime, There's where the old darkey's heart has long'd to go. (Copyright, 1917, Oliver DitsonCo.) 55. SILVER THREADS AMONG THE GOLD. (B flat.) Darling, I am growing old ; Silver threads among the gold Shine upon my brow to-day, Life is fading fast away ; But my darling you will be, will be, Always 1 young and fair to me ; Yes, my darling, you will be Always young and fair to me, Darling, I am growing, growing old, Silver threads among the gold. Shine upon my brow to-day, Life is fading fast away. SONGS OF THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 45 56. HOW CAN I LEAVE THEE. (B flat.) How can I leave thee, How can I from thee part? Thou only hast iny heart, Dear one, believe. Thou hast this soul of mine So closely bound to thine, No other can I love, Save thee alone. 57. SWEET GENEVIEVE. (P.) O, Genevieve, I'd give the world To live again the lovely past ! The rose of youth was dew im-pearled; But now it withers in the blast. I see thy face in every dream My waking thoughts are full of thee; Thy glance is in the starry beam That falls along the summer sea. O Genevieve, sweet Genevieve, The days may come, the days may go, But still the hands of menrry weave The blissful dreams of long ago. Fair Genevieve, my early love, The years but make thee dearer far ! My heart shall never, never rove; Thou art my only guiding star. For me the past has no regret, Whatever the years may bring to me; I bless the hour when first we met, The hour that gave me love and thee! (Used by permission of William A. Pond & Co.) 46 SONGS OF THE SOLDIERS AND SAILOES. 58. SOLDIER'S FAREWELL. (B flat.) How can I bear to leave thee? One parting kiss I give thee ; And then, whate'er befalls me, I go where honor calls me, Farewell, farewell, my own true love, Farewell, farewell, my own true love. 59. NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE. (A fist.) Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee; E'en tho' it be a cross that raiseth me. Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee. Tho' like a wanderer, the sun gone down, Darkness be over me, my rest a stone ; Yet in my dreams I'd be nearer, my God, to Thee. Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee. 60. ABIDE WITH ME. (E flat.) Abide with me.; fast falls the eventide ; The darkness deepens ; Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless ; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting ; where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. SONGS OF THE SOLDIERS AND SAILOKS, 47 61. ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS. (E flat.) 'Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before. Christ, the Royal Master, leads against the foe; ^Forward into battle, see his banners go. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before. Like a mighty army moves the church of God, Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod. We are not divided, all one body we, One in hope and doctrine, one in charity. 62. THE SON OF GOD GOES FORTH TO WAR. (E flat.) The Son of God goes forth to war, a kingly crown to gain ; Jlis blood-red banner streams afar; who follows in his train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, and triumph over pain. Who patient bears his cross below he follows in His train. A glorious band the chosen few, on whom the spirit came : Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, and mocked the cross and flarne. They climbed the dizzy steep to heav'n, thro' peril, toil and pain: O God ! to us may grace be giv'n to follow in their train. 48 SONGS OF THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 63. COME, THOU ALMIGHTY KING. Come, Thou Almighty King, help us Thy name to sing; Help us to praise, Father all glorious, o'er all vic- torious, Come and reigii over us, Ancient of Days.

Now the day is over, night is drawing nigh; Shadows of the evening steal across the sky. Thro' the long night-watches may Thy Angels spread Their white wings above us, watching 'round each bed, 65. HOLY, HOLY, HOLY. (E flat.) Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, Karly in the morning our song shall rise to Thee. Hoi y, Holy, Holy, merciful and mighty, God in three Persons, blessed Trinity.

SONGS OF THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 49 66. RISE, CROWNED WITH LIGHT. (E flat.) Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise; Exalt thy tow'ring head and lift thine eyes ; See heav'n its sparkling portals wide display, And break upon thee in a flood of day. See a long race thy spacious courts adorn : See future sons, and daughters yet unborn, In crowding ranks on ev'ry side arise, Demanding life, impatient for the skies. See barb'rous nations at thy gates attend. Walk in thy light, and in thy temple bend; See thy bright altars thronged with prostrate kings, While ev'ry land its joyous tribute brings. The seas shall waste, the skies to smoke decay, Hocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away ; But fixed His word. His saving pow'r remains ; Thy realms shall last, thy own Messiah reigns. 60 SONGS OE THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 67. O GOD, OUR HELP IN AGES PAST. O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home ! Under the shadow of Thy throne Still may we dwell secure ! Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defense is sure. Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away ; They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. O God, our help in ages past. Our hope for years to come ; Be Thou our Guide while life shall last. And our eternal home ! 68. HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION. (A flat.) How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word ! What more can He say than to you He hath said To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled? *' Fear not, lam with thee, oh, be not dismayed, For I am thy God, I will still. give thee aid ; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand/' SONGS OF THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS. 51 69.
