==Lyrics==
*O, say can you see<br />By the dawn's early light<br />What so proudly we hailed<br />At the twilight's last gleaming<br />Whose broad stripes and bright stars<br />Thru the perilous fight<br />O'er the ramparts we watched<br />Were so gallantly streaming?<br />And the rockets red glare<br />The bombs bursting in air<br />Gave proof through the night<br />That our flag was still there.<br />O, say does that star-spangled<br />banner yet wave<br />O'er the land of the free<br />And the home of the brave?<br /><br />On the shore dimly seen<br />Thru the mist of the deep<br />Where the foe's haughty host<br />In dread silence reposes<br />What is that which the breeze<br />O'er the towering steep<br />As it fitfully blows<br />Half conceals, half discloses?<br />Now it catches the gleam<br />Of the morning's first beam<br />In full glory reflected<br />Now shines in the stream.<br />Tis the star-spangled banner<br />O long may it wave<br />O'er the land of the free<br />And the home of the brave!<br /><br />And where is that band<br />Who so vauntingly swore<br />That the havoc of war<br />And the battle's confusion<br />A home and a country<br />Should leave us no more?<br />Their blood has washed out<br />Their foul footsteps' pollution.<br />No refuge could save<br />The hireling and slave<br />From the terror of flight<br />Or the gloom of the grave:<br />And the star-spangled banner<br />In triumph doth wave<br />O'er the land of the free<br />And the home of the brave!<br /><br />Oh! thus be it ever<br />When freemen shall stand<br />Between their loved homes<br />And the war's desolation!<br />Blest with vict'ry and peace<br />May the Heav'n-rescued land<br />Praise the Power that hath made<br />And preserved us a nation.<br />Then conquer we must<br />When our cause it is just<br />And this be our motto:<br />"In God is our trust."<br />And the star-spangled banner<br />In triumph shall wave<br />O'er the land of the free<br />And the home of the brave!
