 Star Spangle Banner

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early lightWhat so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru 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.Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet waveO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

God Bless America

                                    by Irving Berlin            God bless America,            Land that I love,            Stand beside her and guide her            Thru the night with a light from above;

            From the mountains, to the prairies,            To the oceans white with foam,            God bless America,            My home, sweet home.
