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, thro' 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 thro' 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?

On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists 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 on the stream
'Tis the star spangled banner, oh, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' 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 doth 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 lov'd homes and the war's desolation
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the pow'r that hath made and preserv'd 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
