"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!”"
The Star-Spangled Banner 3rd verse (Francis Scott Key, 1779–1843)
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!”"
The Star-Spangled Banner 3rd verse (Francis Scott Key, 1779–1843)
"Oh, beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev’ry gain divine."
America the Beautiful 3rd verse (Katherine Lee Bates, 1859–1929)
While singing these songs in church this week I was touched! How blessed we are to live in a country with such amazing freedoms! I am so grateful for that freedom, and I hold it dear! God Bless America and the men and women who have sacrificed to make sure it remains a place of freedom!
Happy 4th of July!!!
