Verse 1
Oh 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, through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming
Chorus 1
And the rocket's red glare, the bomb's bursting in air
Gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there
Oh say, does that star spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave
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
Chorus 2
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
