Touch America |
From these ashes... |
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
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!
