1 THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER Words by Francis Scott Key Music by John Stafford Smith and Camp Kirkland O say, can you see, by the dawn s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight s last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, Through the perilous fight, O er the ramparts we watched, Were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets red glare, The bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there. O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O er the land of the free And the home of the brave? America! America! Sweet Land of Liberty! Arr PraiseGathering Music.

4 COUNT THE COST (To See That Banner Wave) Words by Randy Vader Music by Jay Rouse The sacred song of freedom will never be deterred From our borders to the farthest land her melody is heard. A tune of matchless beauty filled with strains of victory; Each lyric penned in crimson the blood of the free. Still it waves, count the cost. From battleground to state house, freedom s plan was laid; By lives and by fortunes, by sacred honor paved. A lamp shining brightly is now handed down to us To raise beside the golden door; our legacy, our trust. Still it waves. MY COUNTRY, TIS OF THEE Words by Samuel F. Smith Music by Henry Carey Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrims pride. From every mountainside let freedom ring! Arr PraiseGathering Music. Admin. by Gaither Copyright Management.

5 BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC Words by Julia Ward Howe American Melody Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord, He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword, His truth is marching on. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat, He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat; O be swift, my soul, to answer Him, Be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; As He died to make men holy let us live to make men free! While God is marching on. His truth is marching, truth is marching, Truth is marching on, marching on! Arr PraiseGathering Music. Adm. by Gaither Copyright Management. All
