The Star The Star Spangled Banner Lyrics:
The Star Spangled Banner

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
thru 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 thru the night that our flag was still
there. Chorus: Oh 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
through 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 fully glory reflected now shines in the
stream: Chorus: ' This the star-spangled banner!
Oh long may it wave O'er the land of the free and
the home of the brave. And were is that band who
so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the
battle's confusion, A home and a country should
leave us no more! Their blood has washed out of
their foul footsteps'pollution. No refuge could
save the hireling and slave' From the terror of
flight and the gloom of the grave: Chorus: And the
star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the
land of the free and the home of the brave. Oh!
Thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between
their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest
with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued
land Praise the Power that hath made and
preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when
our cause it is just, And this be our motto:
"In God is our trust." Chorus: And the
star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er
the land of the free and the home of the brave.
