lyrics:

From the Halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli
We fight our country’s battles
In the air, on land, and sea
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean
We are proud to claim the title
Of The United States Marine

[Verse 2]
Our flag’s unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun
We have fought in ev’ry clime and place
Where we could take a gun
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes
You will find us always on the job
The United States Marines

[Verse 3]
Here’s health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve
In many a strife, we’ve fought for life
And never lost our nerve
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines

“Marines’ Hymn: Official hymn of the United States Marine Corps
The “Marines’ Hymn” is the official hymn of the United States Marine Corps, introduced by the first director of the USMC Band, Francesco Maria Scala. Its music originates from an 1867 work by Jacques Offenbach with the lyrics added by an anonymous author at an unknown time in the following years. Authorized by the Commandant of the Marine Corps in 1929, it is the oldest official song in the United States Armed Forces. The “Marines’ Hymn” is typically sung at the position of attention as a gesture of respect, akin to a national anthem.

Music: Jacques Offenbach, 1867 (arranged by Edward M. Van Loock, 1915)
Adopted: 1929
