I found these songs off the http://www.flagday.org website. I figgure most people can hum most of them, but the words are also nice to know.

Secondly, when in the field, or in the city when SHTF, climates can be brutal, and the night can seem awfully long...its nice to know you can remember and sing to ones-self something inspiring, rather than humming the theme song to Beverly Hills 90210, or felicity, or some other WB,or Disney theme song crap!





[b] THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER [/b]

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 through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our 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?

[b] AMERICA (My Country 'tis of Thee) [/b]

My county 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing
Land where by fathers died!
Land of the pilgrims' pride!
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring!

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

[b] AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL [/b]

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesty
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 impassiond stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self control
Thy liberty in law

[b] YOU'RE A GRAND OLD FLAG [/b]

You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag,
And forever in peace may you wave,
You're the emblem of the land I love,
The home of the free and the brave
Ev'ry heart beats true 'neath the Red, White and Blue
Where there's never a boast or brag,
But should old acquintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag!

[b] GOD BLESS AMERICA [/b]

God bless America,
Land that I love,
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with a light from above.


From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America,
My home sweet home.

BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord,
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored,
He has 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
