First Verse Of The Star Spangled Banner. O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. O thus be it ever when freemen shall.

Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, o'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? Thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand. Blest with vict'ry and peace may the heav'n rescued land praise the power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
