o say! can you see,
by the dawn's early light,
what so proudly we hail'd
at the twilight's last gleaming,
whose broad stripes and bright stars
thro' the perilous fight,
o'er the ramparts we watch'd
were so gallantly streaming?
and the rockets red glare,
the bombs bursting in air,
gave proof thro' the night
that our flag was still there.
o, say, does that star-spangled
banner yet wave
o'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave?
on the shore, dimly seen thro' the
mists of the deep,
where the foe's haughty host
in dread silence reposes,
what is that which the breeze,
o'er the towering steep,
as it fitfully blows,
half conceals, half discloses?
now it catches the gleam
of the morning's first beam,
in full glory reflected
now shines on the stream;
'tis the star-spangled banner,
o long may it wave
o'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave?
o thus be it ever
when free man 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.
then conquer we must,
for 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?
