Strong and Free

A Hymn for the Army

“Strong and Free” is a hymn for active-duty Army worshippers, calling upon the Almighty for strength as they fulfill their duty to protect our nation’s freedom.

The verses reflect the Army core values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage.

This easy-to-sing hymn is the result of collaboration with many others, including chaplains, active-duty soldiers, veterans, military family members, and church music professionals.

The hymn is provided free of cost for nonprofit and noncommercial use.
