OUR NATION'S GODLY HERITAGE
On March 3, 1931, The Star Spangled Banner was adopted
by Congress as our National Anthem. Francis Scott Key
wrote it more than one hundred years earlier, after watching
the fierce Battle of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812.
Many know and appreciate the stirring words to the first
verse of the Anthem, but few are familiar with its inspirational
second verse:
O! thus be it ever when free men shall stand Between their
loved home 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!
It is because of this verse that courts allowed to stand the
motto, "In God We Trust" on our nation's currency. Had
it not been in the national anthem, the courts undoubtedly
would have been forced to declare it an unlawful act of the
government to promote religion.
