Happy 4th July 2017! to everyone in the USA and around the Globe.

241 years ago it was signed the Act of Independence of the United States... We are all going to celebrate this great day of freedom and the struggle of the United States of America for being an example of democracy in the world. Let us sing together the great national anthem that inspires everyone to seek peace, freedom and the love of God throughout the world.

I

Oh 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?

II

On the shore, dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,

Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,

What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,

As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,

In full glory reflected now shines in 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!

III

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore

That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion

A home and a country should leave us no more!

Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.

No refuge could save the hireling and slave

From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:

And the star-spangled banner, in triumph doth wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

IV

O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand

Between their loved home and the war's desolation!

Blest with victory and peace, may the Heav'n-rescued land

Praise the Power 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
