On the shore, dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
rere 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: oh, long may it wave
Ofer the land of the free and the home of the brave!

3. Oh, thus be it eer when free-men shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vietry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that has made and preserved us a nation!
‘Then conquer we must, when our eause itis just;
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust!”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
Ofer the land of the free and the home of the brave!
