Hail and farewell,
Our gratitude tell
In strains of rev'rent and
Heartfelt song;
This was the brave,
His future who gave
To keep our fair country
Safe from all wrong.
O true and strong
You are our song.
Hail and farewell!
Defeat ne'er befell
The proud "unknown"
Whom we honor here.
Crowned with our love,
All monarchs above,
He lives on forever,
Deathless and dear.
O true and strong,
You are our song.
