Thanks, I've never heard that verse!!
Haven't heard that since grade school. We need to hear it more often.
Popeye
Thank you Sarge
I have never heard that verse either
We students had to learn all the4 verses to the National Anthem back in 7th grade (1959) and I have never forgotten that verse...it says it all.
What most people do not realize is that the words were originally a poem and as such, the conclusion is always in the last verse. So what we are singing is the beginning, rather than the conclusion which is where the power is.
I think we should change to singing the last verse, don't you?
Thank you for sharing. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

thanks Sarge, this is the 1st time I have heard this or even that it existed. :thumbup:
I wonder how many of our elected officials know this verse, or anything other than the first verse, if some of them even know that!
Excellent posting!!!!
