War of 1812 (between the U.S.A. and Britain). The words are by Francis Scott Key, of course: "In Defense of Fort McHenry." The entire poem has four stanzas, only the first of which most Americans know and sing. The fourth stanza is, I think, particularly inspiring: O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov'd 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 preserv'd us as 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!
