The Star-Spangled Banner

Author: Francis S. Key, 1779-1843 Meter: Irregular Appears in 447 hymnals Topics: Loyalty and Courage First Line: O say can you see by the dawn's early light Lyrics: 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, through the perilous fight, O'er 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. 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 thro' the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dead 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 shined on the stream, 'Tis the Star-Spangled Banner O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! 3 O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their loved 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 preserved us a nation! Then conquer we 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! Scripture: Psalm 20:7 Used With Tune: STAR SPANGLED BANNER

Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from thee, filled with messages from thee. 4 Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.
