u.s. coast guard - semper paratus lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
from aztec shore to arctic zone,​
to europe and far east,​
the flag is carried by our ships
in times of war and peace;​
and never have we struck it yet
in spite of foemen’s might,​
who cheered our crews and cheered again
for showing how to fight.​

[chorus]
we’re always ready for the call,​
we place our trust in thee.​
through surf and storm and howling gale,​
high shall our purpose be.​
“semper paratus” is our guide,​
our fame, our glory too.​
to fight to save or fight and die,​
aye! coast guard we are for you!

[verse 2]
surveyor and narcissus,​
the eagle and dispatch,​
the hudson and tampa,​
these namеs are hard to match;​
from barrow’s shores to paraguay,​
great lakеs or ocean’s wave,​
the coast guard fights through storms and winds,​
to punish or to save.​
[verse 3]
aye! we’ve been always ready!
to do, to fight, or die
write glory to the shield we wear
in letters to the sky.​
to sink the foe or save the maimed,​
our mission and our pride.​
we’ll carry on ’til kingdom come,​
ideals for which we’ve died.​
