    "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean" is an American patriotic song which was popular in the United States during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Composed c. 1843, it was long used as an unofficial national anthem of the United States, in competition with other songs. Under the title "Three Cheers for the Red, White, and Blue," the song is mentioned in Chapter IX of MacKinlay Kantor's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Andersonville (1955). It was also featured in the 1957 musical The Music Man. In 1969, "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean" was the music performed by a U.S. Navy Band embarked aboard USS Hornet as one of the ship's helicopters recovered the Apollo 11 astronauts from their capsule named Columbia after a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
    The melody of "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean" is identical to that of the British patriotic song "Britannia, the Pride of the Ocean" and there is disagreement as to which song was adapted from the other."

      My version of the Star Spangled Banner
      1
      O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
      What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
      Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
      O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
      And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
      Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
      O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
      O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
      2
      On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
      Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
      What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
      As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
      Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
      In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
      'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
      O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
      3
      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:
      And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
      O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
      4
      When our land is illumined with Liberty's smile,
      If a foe from within strike a blow at her glory,
      Down, down with the traitor that dares to defile
      The flag of her stars and the page of her story!
      By the millions unchained, who our birthright have gained,
      We will keep her bright blazon forever unstained!
      And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
      While the land of the free is the home of the brave.
      5
      O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
      Between their loved homes and the war's desolation.
      Blest with vict'ry 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.
      And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
      O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

    Lyrics to the first verse (from memory, at least)
    O Columbia, the gem of the Ocean!
    The home of the Brave, and the Free,
    The shrine of each patriot's devotion,
    A world offers homage to thee.
    Thy Mandates make heroes assemble,
    When Liberty's form stands in view!
    Thy Banners make tyranny Trimble,
    When Borne by the Red White and Blue!
    When Borne by the Red White and Blue!
    When Borne by the Red White and Blue!
    Thy Banners make tyranny Trimble,
    When Borne by the Red White and Blue!

Sure we can make references to god since America is a Christian nation, but to have parts of it in the national anthem? Eh.., the song is more fitted for war-time because all America truly needs in hard times is hope.
