Star Spangled Banner

<br>The mormon tabernacle choir---star spangled banner<br><br><br><br>Oh, say, can you see, by the dawns early light,<br><br>What so proudly we haild at the twilights last gleaming? <br><br>Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro the perilous fight,<br><br>Oer the ramparts we watchd, were so gallantly streaming? <br><br>And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,<br><br>Gave proof thro the night that our flag was still there.<br><br>O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave<br><br>Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave? <br><br><br><br>On the shore dimly seen thro the mists of the deep,<br><br>Where the foes haughty host in dread silence reposes,<br><br>What is that which the breeze, oer the towering steep,<br><br>As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? <br><br><br><br>Now it catches the gleam of the mornings first beam,<br><br>In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:<br><br>t is the star-spangled banner: o, long may it wave<br><br>Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave!<br><br><br><br>And where is that band who so vauntingly swore<br><br>That the havoc of war and the battles confusion<br><br>A home and a country should leave us no more? <br><br>Their blood has washd out their foul footsteps pollution.<br><br>No refuge could save the hireling and slave<br><br>From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:<br><br>And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave<br><br>Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave.<br><br><br><br>O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,<br><br>Between their lovd homes and the wars desolation;<br><br>Blest with victry and peace, may the heavn-rescued land<br><br>Praise the powr that hath made and preservd us as a nation!<br><br>Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,<br><br>And this be our motto: &quot;in God is our trust&quot;<br><br>And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave<br><br>Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave!
