And the star-spangled banner forever shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just, And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.' And the star-spangled banner forever shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
