Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?

Who's broad stripes and bright stars

Through the perilous fight

O'er the ramparts we watched

Were so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs 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?

Oh, 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

Bless the power that made and preserved us a nation!

Then conquer we must when the 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!
