¶Lyrics / Text

Clang, clang, clang rings the challenge And it echoes round the wide world's girth For America fires a million forges, She is fashioning defenses for the earth. Clang, clang, clang rings the challenge That shall prove her valor, show her worth. Deep, deep, deep drive the plough-share, That deliv'rance take root in the loam. America sows in gladness In the faith of a harvest that shall come. Deep, deep, deep drive the plough-share: Feed the world and defend the hearths of home! Sail, sail, sail thro' the darkness, 'Mid the perils of the foe swept sea. America is sending armies As a pledge to the world that is to be! Sail, sail, sail thro' the darkness, To the dawn of a universe made free. Fight, fight, fight in the trenches, Struggle onward o'erthe crimson sod; For America is terrible with purpose, As she smites with the flaming rod! Fight, fight, fight in the trenches, There are strong men fighting for their God.
