Oh, say can you see by the dawn's light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bursting in air, Gave proof through the night our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled yet wave O'er the land of the free and the of the brave?
On the shore, seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread reposes, What is that which the breeze, the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half Now it catches the gleam of the first beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country leave us no more! Their blood has out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge save the hireling and slave From the of flight, or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in doth wave O'er the of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh! thus be it ever, when shall stand their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued Praise the Power that hath made and us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our it is just, And be our motto: "In God is our trust." And the star-spangled in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the of the brave!
