4 Our fathers' God! to Thee, To Thee we sing! 374 S. F. Smith. LORD, while for all mankind we pray, Of ev'ry clime and coast, O hear us for our native land, 2 O guard our shores from every foe, 3 Unite us in the sacred love Of knowledge, truth and Thee; And let our hills and valleys shout The songs of liberty. 4 Here my religion, pure and mild, Smile on our Sabbath hours; And piety and virtue bless The home of us and ours. 5 Lord of the nations, thus to Thee Be Thou her refuge and her trust, J. R. Wreford. 375 OH, 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 rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. On, say, does that star-spangled banner still wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? 2 On the shore, dimly seen through 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 dis closes? 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 O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave. 3 Oh, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation: Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'nrescued land Praise the Pow'r 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! F. S. Key.
