A very nice rendition. I remember memorizing the 4 verses in grade school, not that I recall any more than the first now. It would be nice to hear all the verses more often.
OO! That gives me an idea for an update… [bacon to you!]
I being of curious mind also googled the lyrics, and found slightly different words in the 4th stanza.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just.
I believe the fourth stanza was added during the Civil War.
Azimov’s commentary: well worth the read.
And you find yourself seeing if you can sing the words in the correct tune.
I know the tune, I just have a hard time knowing which syllable to put on which note in some parts. Especially in the 4th verse. Sarah gets it exactly right, though
