User-Contributed Transcription Red, White and BlueOh Columbia! the gem of the Ocean,The home of the brave and the free,The shrine of each patriot's devotion,A world offers homage to thee,Thy mandates make heroes assumbleWhen liberty's form stands in view,Thy banner make tyrants trembleWhen borne by the red, white and blue.[illegible] When borne by the red, white and blue,When borne by the red, white and blue,Thy banners make tyrants trembleWhen borne by the red, white and blue.When war waged its wide desolation,And threatened our land to deform,The ask then of Freedom's founation,Columbia rode safe through the storm.With her garland of victory
