We recently were reading reprint Of the
complete original poem by Francis Scott
Key - and, as we read the rarely printed,
and even more rarely sung fourth verse, we
were intrigued by its appropriateness for
present conditions - so much so, that, be-
ieving you also might have forgotten just
how it goes, we are reprinting it.
ooh, thus be it ever when free men shall
stand
Between their loved homes and the wars

Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-
rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and pre-
served us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is
just,
And this be our motto: In God is our trustp
And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph
shall wave
