THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

O say can you see,

            By the dawn’s early light.

What so proudly we hailed,

            At the twilight’s last gleaming.

Whose broad stripes and bright stars,

            Through the perilous fight.

O’er the ramparts we watched,

            Were so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket’s red glare,

            The bombs bursting in air.

Gave proof through 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.

 

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

 

O beautiful for spacious skies,

For amber waves of grain.

For purple mountain majesties,

Above the fruited plain!              

America!  America!

God shed His grace on thee.                   

And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea!

From sea to shining sea!
