From:
The Star-Spangled Banner
The
National Anthem of the United States of America
( By
Francis Scott Key )
The
FOURTH stanza -- (MEMORIZE this)
O
thus be it ever, when free men shall
stand
Between their lov'd homes, and the war's
desolation;
Blest with victory and
peace, may this
heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that
hath 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
home of the brave.

NOTE
HERE, also, the 4th stanza of "AMERICA" ("My country 'tis of
thee").... about God and America. Why do some
anti-Americans, living in our beautiful United States, keep
saying that we real-Americans should abandon our references
to God, and religion.... in public places?
In our two marvelous "National Anthems", both quoted in this
document, how much more "public" can our country's
devotion to GOD be.... and our dependence on
Him.... than is demonstrated and clearly-stated in these
poetic and majestic references to our Creator God.
Thank you, Almighty God, for loving and guiding and
protecting our splendid land.... even though so many of us
"Americans" deny your existence, and your loving care of our
precious nation.
The FOURTH
stanza of "AMERICA"
Our
fathers' GOD -- author of liberty --
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright,
With freedon's Holy Light.
Protect us, by Thy might;
Great GOD.... our KING.

Remember, also, two of our other great national "anthems",
which express the feelings and opinions of real "Americans".
I will quote (here) from these two magnificent songs,
soon.... but for now, just recall and recite the splendid
words of "God Bless America".... and "America the
Beautiful". (Thank you, Almighty God, for letting us
Americans have these profound and marvelous expressions of
our belief in you, and our devotion to you.)
The
Star-Spangled
Banner
ALL four
stanzas
1.
O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last
gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the
perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly
streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in
air,
Gave proof thro' 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?
2.
On the shore dimly seen, thro' the mists of the
deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in 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!
3.
And where is that
band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's
confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd 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 star-spangled banner in triumph doth
wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the
brave.
4
O thus be it ever
when free men shall stand
Between their lov'd home and the war's
desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may this
heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath
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!
