Star Spangled Banner.

4o. singing Dy Il Olass,
Star Spangled Banner.
D say eau you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilights
last cleaning.
Whose broad stripes aud bright stars through
the perilous fight,
0er the rampars we watched were so gallant
ly sti eaming,
Aud Il Rockets red gale, and the bombs burst
ing in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was
su there
o, say, does the star-spangel banner yet wave,
Der the land OF the free and the home Of the
bravel
On the ehore dimy seen through the mist of
the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread silence
What is that which the breeze DER the towering
steep,
As it titfuly blows, half cOnceals, half
disclosesi
Now it catches the CLEAN of the mornings first
| beam,
In full glory reflected, now shiues the stream
IT'S the star-spangled banner, o, long may it
Ger the land Of the free, aud the home Of the
brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war aud the battles confu-
sion,
A home and country should leave US no more
Their blood has washed 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 atar.spangled banner in triumph doth
Der the land of the free and the home of the
brave
O. thus be II ever, when freemen shall stand,
Between their loved home, and the wars
desolAtion,
Blessed with victory and peace, may the heaven
rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserved
us Eation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our notto,-" lu God is our trust ~
And the star-spsngled banner in triumph shall
Ger the lanl of the FREQ and the home of the
brave
And now on our soil. when vile traitors assall,
That glorious flag, by all nations respected,
Defiant we Hing its bright folds to the gale,
And swear from rebellion it shall be protected
Yes, we swear to defend, to the last bloody end
The red, white, and blue, which in union still
blend,
Anu that stafsspan8leu Dhhner IN triumph 9uh'
wave
Der all the fair land, Of the free and the brave
