Our Country’s Songs

❏ “The Star Spangled Banner”

(Our national anthem)

❏ “America the Beautiful”

“The Star Spangled Banner”

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, thro'
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.
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet
wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the
brave?

The flag that flew over Fort McHenry in 1814.

And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

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.

Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
