Star-Spangled Banner Francis Scott Key Music Ascribed to John Stafford Smith 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? On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep Where the foe's haughty host in the 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 O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. 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 heaven rescued land Praise the Power that has 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.
