THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER Oh, say, can you ses, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, , Whose broad stripes and bright stars, throt the perilous fight, ' Ofer the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, ; Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. — Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'ter the land of the free and the home of the brave? Oh, thus be it ever when free men shall stand Between their loved home and wild warts 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, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto; "In God is our trustt", And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave Oter the land of the free and the home of the brave. AMERICA My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers diedl Land of the pilgrims' pride! From every mountain side Let freedom ring! My native country, thee, Land of the noble free, Thy name I love; I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills; My heart with rapture thrills, Like that above, Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees, Sweet freedomts song; . Let mortal tongues awake; Let all that breathe partake; Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong. Our fathers' Godt to thee Author of liberty, To Thee we sing: Long may our Jand be bright With freedom's holy light; Protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King.
