star spangled banner - 4th verse - howard scott pearlman lyrics

oh thus be it ever when all men shall stand
between our loved homes and war’s desolation
blessed with beauty and peace may our heavenly lands
see the light up above and become more than nations

but if struggle we must for the cause that is just
may we choose as standards those that all men can trust
then the star spangled banner in honor shall wave
among the lands of the free and the home of the brave
