歌詞
- 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.
- 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.
- 2.
- Surveyor and Narcissus,
- The Eagle and Dispatch,
- The Hudson and the Tampa,
- These names are hard to match;
- From Barrow's shores to Paraguay,
- Great Lakes or Ocean's wave,
- The Coast Guard fights through storms and winds
- To punish or to save.
- 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.
