21. The Red Cross Youth Song
Come let us pledge again each heart and hand
To thee the flag we serve friend in every land
Come let us give a new each thought and mind
To be a light to shine over all mankind
So may our emblem be proudly unfurled
To link the chain of members for service through the world
O give us strength to prove sure and sublime
To make the cause we serve shine over the hills of time.
