O Say Can You See

• By the dawns early light
• What so proudly we haild at the twilights last
  gleaming?
• Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro the
  perilous fight,
• Oer the ramparts we watchd, 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
• Oer the land of the free and the home of the
  brave?

On The Shore Dimly Seen

• Thro the mists of the deep,
• Where the foes haughty host in dread silence
  reposes,
• What is that which the breeze, oer the towering
  steep,
• As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half
  discloses?
• Now it catches the gleam of the mornings first
  beam,
• In full glory reflected now shines in the stream.
  
• Tis the star-spangled banner, o, long may it
  wave
• Oer the land of the free and the home of the
  brave!

10
And Where Is That Band

• Who so vauntingly swore
• That the havoc of war and the battles confusion,
• A home and a country should leave us no more?
• Their blood has washd out their foul footsteps
  pollution.
• No refuge could save the hireling and slave
• From the terror of flight or the gloom of the
  grave
• And the star- spangled banner in triumph doth
  wave
• Oer the land of the free and the home of the
  brave!

11
O Thus Be It Ever

• When freemen shall stand
• Between their lovd home and the wars
  desolation!
• Blest with victry and peace may the
  heavn-rescued land
• Praise the Power that hath made and preseverd us
  a nation!
• Then conquer we must, when our case it is just,
• And this be our motto, In God Is Our Trust,
• And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall
  wave
• Oer the land of the free and the home of the
  brave.
