GOD BLESS AMERICA by Irving Berlin, 1918

God bless America,

Land that I love.

Stand beside her, and guide her

Through the night with a light from above.

From the mountains, to the prairies,

To the oceans, white with foam

God bless America, My home sweet home

God bless America, My home sweet home.

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFULby Katharine Lee Bates

O beautiful for spacious skies,For amber waves of grain,

For purple mountain majestiesAbove the fruited plain!

America! America! God shed His grace on thee,And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet,Whose stern impassion’d stress

A thoroughfare for freedom beatAcross the wilderness!

America! America! God mend thine ev’ry flaw,Confirm thy soul in self-control,

Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife,Who more than self their country loved,

And mercy more than life!America! America! May God thy gold refine

Till all success be nobleness,And ev’ry gain divine!

O Beautiful for patriot dreamThat sees beyond the years

Thine alabaster cities gleam,Undimmed by human tears!

America! America! God shed His grace on thee,And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea!
