O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

The Star-Spangled Banner (1814)

O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation.

The Star-Spangled Banner (1814)

'Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

The Star-Spangled Banner (1814)

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."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

The Star-Spangled Banner (1814)
