From Aztec Shore to Artic 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 foe-men'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!
