There's a flag hangs high on the old church wall, 'Tis the pledge of a service true, For the lads who have answered their country's call: There's a star on the flag for you. Chorus. There's a star on the flag for you, lad, Tis a pledge of your service true; As you fight over there, We are with you in prayer, There's a star on the flag for you. There's a flag hangs low in the old home, With the prayers of a mother bless'd; And for her the star of her only boy, Means more than a monarch's crest. There's a star of gold 'mid the stars of blue, For the warrior's crown is given; And the lad who died for his country's weal, Is safe now, through Christ, in Heaven. - Frederick W. Eberhardt
