The History of the First United States Flag: and the Patriotism of Betsy Ross, the Immortal Heroine That Originated the First Flag of the Union
Reigart, J. Franklin (John Franklin)
Flags -- United States
Oh! thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation;
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven rescued land,
Praise the Power that 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.
CHORUS—And the star spangled banner in triumph shall wave,
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
