O say can you see,
By the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed 
At the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
Thru the perilous fight, 
O'er the ramparts we watched, 
were so galantly streaming?
And the rockets red glare, 
The bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thru the night
That our flag was still there.

O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

The Star-Spangled Banner 

​(Verse 2)

​O thus be it ever, 
when free men shall stand
Between their loved homes
and the war's desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace, 
may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made
and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must,
when our cause it is just;
And this be our motto:
"In God is our trust!"

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
