Count Down to Independence Day #2

"Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust!"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall waive
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

Frances Scott Key
Rarely Seen Last Verse of "The Star Spangled Banner"
