The Star-Spangled Banner
Welcome
O say, can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Erica Matthews
Class of 1974 and Member of the Lehman College
Retirees Association
Whose Broad Stripes and Bright stars through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s 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, the Beautiful
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!
