The Coast Guard – Semper Paratus<\/a>
\nSo here\u2019s the Coast Guard marching song
\nWe sing on land or sea
\nThrough surf and storm and howling gale,
\nHis shall our purpose be.
\n\u201cSemper Paratus\u201d is our guide,
\nOur fame, our glory, too,
\nTo fight to save, or fight and die! Aye!
\nCoast Guard, we are for you.<\/p>\n

FROM AZTEC SHORE TO ARCTIC ZONE,
\nTO EUROPE AND FAR EAST.
\nTHE FLAG IS CARRIED BY OUR SHIPS
\nIN TIME OF WAR AND PEACE.
\nAND NEVER HAVE WE STRUCK IT YET
\nIN SPITE OF FOE-MEN\u2019S MIGHT,
\nWHO CHEERED OUR CREWS,
\nAND CHEERED AGAIN,
\nFOR SHOWING HOW TO FIGHT.
\nWE\u2019RE ALWAYS READY FOR THE CALL,
\nWE PLACE OUR TRUST IN THEE.
\nTHROUGH SURF AND STORM
\nAND HOWLING GALE,
\nHIGH SHALL OUR PURPOSE BE.
\n\u201cSEMPER PARATUS\u201d IS OUR GUIDE,
\nOUR FAME, OUR GLORY TOO.
\nTO FIGHT TO SAVE, OR FIGHT TO DIE,
\nAYE! COAST GUARD WE ARE FOR YOU.
\n\u201cSURVEYOR\u201d AND \u201cNARCISSUS,\u201d
\nTHE \u201cEAGLE\u201d AND \u201cDISPATCH.”
\nTHE \u201cHUDSON\u201d AND THE \u201cTAMPA,\u201d
\nTHESE NAMES ARE HARD TO MATCH.
\nFROM BARROW\u2019S SHORES TO PARAGUAY;
\nGREAT LAKES OR OCEAN\u2019S WAVE,
\nTHE COAST GUARD FIGHTS
\nTHROUGH STORMS AND WINDS,
\nTO PUNISH OR TO SAVE.
\nAYE! WE\u2019VE BEEN ALWAYS READY!
\nTO DO, TO FIGHT, OR DIE.
\nWRITE GLORY TO THE SHIELD WE WEAR,
\nIN LETTERS IN THE SKY.
\nTO SINK THE FOE OR SAVE THE MAIMED,
\nOUR MISSION AND OUR PRIDE.
\nWE\u2019LL CARRY ON TIL KINGDOM COME,
\nIDEALS FOR WHICH WE\u2019VE DIED.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
