4th Stanza
Posted By Christina M on September 11, 2009
Today I’d like to post the often forgotten fourth stanza of the Star Spangled Banner.
Oh thus be it ever
When free men shall stand
Between their loved homes
And the war’s desolation
Blessed with vict’ry and peace
May this heav’n rescued land
Praise the God that hath made
And preserved us a nation.
And conquer we must
If our cause, it is just.
And this be our motto:
In God is our trust.
And the Star-Spangled Banner
In triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free
And the home of the brave.
God bless the brave.
That’s the 4th verse??? I remember learning that in 6th grade. We only sang the first verse and that one. What a beautiful verse and a wonderful tribute.
