(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Only the first verse of "Star Spangled Banner" is ever heard. But the last verse deserves to be known:
O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation.
Blest with vict'ry 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!
Blessed with victory and peace, may the Heaven-rescued land praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
This is still the earnest prayer of Christians today.
