Semper Paradus Official song of the United States Coast Guard Original Versions and Changes The original words and music were written by Captain Francis S. Van Boskerck, USCG in 1927. The first line of each chorus was changed in 1969. The current verse, and a second chorus, were written by Homer Smith, 3rd Naval District Coast Guard quartet, Chief Cole, others and LT Walton Butterfield USCGR in 1943. 1st chorus (original, 1927 version) So here's the Coast Guard marching song, We sing on land or sea. 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 to die, Aye! Coast Guard, we are for you! 2nd chorus (added 1943) So here's the Coast Guard battle song, We fight on land or sea. Through howling gale and shot and shell, To win our victory. "Semper Paratus" is our guide, Our pledge, our motto too. We're "Always Ready" do or die! Aye! Coast Guard we are for you!
