The Cactus Cuties sang this during the Texas Tech and Texas BB game. It really is outstanding.

It's only fitting on a day like today.
I only with they had sung the other verses. Some marvelous lines that we don't get to hear very often:
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave
or
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power 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.'
People just don't pen language that way anymore, and we are the poorer for it.
And Rightly So!
