Oh, say can you see by the dawn's light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's gleaming? broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O'er the we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs in air, Gave proof through the night our flag was still there. Oh, say does star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty in dread silence reposes, What is which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, discloses? Now it catches the of the morning's first beam, In glory reflected now shines in the stream: the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave O'er the of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so swore That the of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a should leave us no more! Their blood has out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and From the terror of flight, or the of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth O'er the land of the 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 that hath made and preserved 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 banner in shall wave O'er the land of the and the home of the brave!
