Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watch'd 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'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
Oh thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation
Blessed with victory and peace May the heaven rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserved us as a nation
Then conquer we must when our 'cause 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
