The Star-Spangled Banner
Oh, Say Can You See By The Dawn's Early Light
What So Proudly We Hailed By The Twilights
Last Gleaming
And The Rockets Red Glare The Bombs Bursting In
Air Gave Proof Through The Night That Our
Flag Was Still There
Whose Broad Stripes And Bright Stars Through
The Perilous Fight O'er The Ramparts We Watched
Were So Gallantly Streaming
Oh, Say Does That Star Spangled Banner Yet
Wave? O'er The Land Of The Free And The Home
Of The Brave.

The Marine Hymnpt. 1
From the halls of Montezuma, To the shores of
Tripoli We fight our country's battles In the
air, on land, and sea First to fight for right
and freedom And to keep our honor clean We are
proud to claim the title Of United States
Marines.
Our Flag's unfurled to every breeze From dawn to
setting sun, We have fought in every clime and
place Where we could take a gun. In the snow of
far and northern lands And in sunny tropic
scenes, You will find us on the job The United
States Marines.
75
The Marine Hymnpt. 2
Here's health to you and to our Corps Which we
are proud to serve In many a strife we've
fought for life And never lost our nerve If
the Army and the Navy Ever look on Heaven's
scenes They will find the streets are
guarded By United States Marines.

The Navy Hymn
Eternal Father, Strong To Save, Whose Arm Hath
Bound The Restless Wave. Who Bidd'st The Mighty
Ocean Deep It's Own Appointed Limits Keep. O
Hear Us When We Cry To Thee For Those In Peril
On The Sea!
Eternal Father, grant, we pray To all Marines,
both night and day, The courage, honor,
strength, and skill Their land to serve, thy law
fulfill Be thou the shield forevermore From
every peril to the Corps.
