Blest With Peace

Posted by digamma @ 10:09 pm EDT

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen 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.


Via Juan Non-Volokh and Isaac Asimov, a history of the song.
