The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay. 2 The cattle are lowing; the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes. I love you, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask you to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in your tender care, And fit us for heaven, to live with you there.

The Star-Spangled Banner

Author: Francis S. Key, 1779-1843 Meter: Irregular Appears in 446 hymnals First Line: O say can you see by the dawn's early light Lyrics: 1 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? 2 On the shore, dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dead silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows half conceals, half discloses? And catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shined on the stream, 'Tis the Star-Spangled Banner O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! 3 O thus be it ever when free men shall stand Between their loved 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 preserved us 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!
