To: Whenifhow

Thank you for the short summary of the history of the Star Spangled Banner.

It seems appropriate to re-post the inspired 4th stanza that declares “In GOD we trust!”

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n 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!
