THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
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 wav e
O 'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave ?

HYMN—"Hail! Pennsylvania! "
Hail ! Pennsylvania ! noble and strong ;
To thee with loyal hearts we raise our song.
Swelling to Heaven, loud our praises ring ;
Hail! Pennsylvania! of thee we sing !
Majesty as a crown rests on thy brow ;
Pride, Honor, Glory, Love, before thee bow .
Ne 'er can thy spirit die, thy walls decay ;
Hail! Pennsylvania! for thee we pray !
Hail! Pennsylvania! guide of our youth ;
Lead thou thy children on to light and truth ;
Thee, when death summons us, others shall praise ,
Hail! Pennsylvania! through endless days.
