Oh, thus be it ever, when free men 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 Pow'r 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!
Too bad they don't sing that verse at base ball games!
How blessed are we, that we had such righteous-minded men to start our country! I only wish it were still that way. And despite fear of sounding like my dad- please make sure you vote this year!
And I promise the next post will have pictures.... and be about Andrew and I. :)

That's actually my favorite verse - so powerful!
We didn't sing that song this year. I was a bit disappointed because it is one of the few times you get to hear all of the verses.
