The Star-Spangled Banner Words by Francis Scott Key Music: Origin Unknown, 18th Century; attr. John Stafford Smith Words and Music public domain 644
O say, can you seeby the dawn’s early lightWhat so proudly we hailedat the twilight’s last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright starsthro’ the perilous fightO’er the ramparts we watchedwere so gallantly streaming
And the rockets’ red glarethe bombs bursting in airGave proof thro’ the nightthat our flag was still there
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet waveO’er the land of the freeand the home of the brave
O thus be it everwhen free men shall standBetween their loved homesand the war’s desolation
Blest with vict’ry and peacemay the heav’n-rescued landPraise the Pow’r that hath made and preserved us a nation
Then conquer we mustwhen our cause it is justAnd this be our mottoIn God is our trust
And the star-spangled bannerin triumph shall waveO’er the land of the freeand the home of the brave
