THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER Lyrics Words by Francis Scott Key Music by John Stafford Smith Arranged by Jay Rouse 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. © 2002 PraiseGathering Music.

LIVIN’ IN THE HOMELAND Lyrics Words and Music by Randy Vader Arranged by Jay Rouse Livin’ in the homeland, not afraid to take a stand, Every woman, child and man deserves to be free. Stand tall. Don’t fall. All for one. One for all. That is the battle call for you and for me. Freedom and liberty demand a high cost. Many rights gained through so many lives lost.

COUNT THE COST (To See That Banner Wave) Lyrics Words by Randy Vader Music by Jay Rouse Arranged 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. Count the cost to each one who stood tall. Count the cost to each one who gave all. Count the cost to see that banner wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. 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. Count the cost to each one who stood tall. Count the cost to each one who gave all. Count the cost to see that banner wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. 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. © 2010 PraiseGathering Music.

Count the cost to see that banner wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Still it waves, o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave! © 2010 PraiseGathering Music.

BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC Lyrics Words by Julia Ward Howe American Melody Arranged by Jay Rouse 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. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! 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. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth 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. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on! His truth is marching on! His truth is marching, truth is marching, Truth is marching on, marching on! Arr. © 2002 PraiseGathering Music.
