Текст пісні
Dawn is breaking the stormy night
The battle is raging in ruthless fight
Soldiers giving their life for a life
Defenders of freedom and right
Bravely they watch as the blazing skies
Give proof through the first gleam of morning light
For yonder still waving their symbol of pride
Oh glory the stars and the stripes
Oh glory still stands for a country free
Its beauty held high for the world to see
To freedom, justice, and liberty
It's the stars and the stripes forever
From the halls of Pilate they loudly cry
We find Him guilty, crucify, crucify
They mock Him, crown Him, pierce His precious side
Love carries what should have been mine
The sun was darkened, heaven cries
The nails have been driven, the Savior has died
Jesus has given His life for my life
I am free by His scars and His stripes
Oh glory and praise I have been set free
By the blood of the Lamb on Calvary
There's mercy, freedom, and victory
In the stars and the stripes forever
Oh there's mercy, freedom, and victory
In the stars and the stripes forever
