NATIONAL ANTHEM OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA :
1. O say can you see,
By the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
Throw the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched,
Were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare,
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof throw the night
That our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled
Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave.
2. On the shore dimly seen
Throw the mist of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host
In dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze,
O'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows,
Half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam
Of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected
Now shines in the stream.
This the star-spangled banner
O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave.
3. And where is the band
Who so vauntingly swore,
'Mid the havoc of war
And the battles confusion,
A home and a country
They'd leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out
Their foul footstep's 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 both wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave.
4. O thus be it ever,
When free men shall stand
Between their loved homes
And the war's desolation;
Blest with victory and peace,
May the haven’t rescued land
Praise the Power that bath made
And preserved us a nation!
Then conquer me 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.
