Unfurl ‘neath the skies! Whose broad stripes and bright stars, Thro’ the perilous fight Chorus: O’er the ramparts we watched, La Salle, La Salle, thy glory, Were so gallantly streaming. Thy triumphs we praise! And the rockets’ red glare, Thy name in song forever The bombs bursting in air, Shall we proudly raise! Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there. Thy sons and daughters standing Oh, say, does that star-spangled Await thy command, Banner yet wave Thou fortress of faith O’er the land of the free In our God and our land! And the home of the brave? Chorus: — Francis Scott Key La Salle, La Salle, thy glory, Thy triumphs we praise! Thy name in song forever Shall we proudly raise! — Daniel J. Rodden *The audience is requested to stand during the Academic Procession, Invocation, National Anthem, and Closing Prayer, and to remain in place until the Academic Procession has left the field.
