O! thus be it ever when free men shall stand

Between their loved homes and the foe's desolation;

Bless'd with victory and peace, may our 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 wave

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