America! America!
God mend thine every flaw.
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.
Lift high the cross, unfurl the flag.
May they forever stand
United in our hearts and hopes:
God and our native land!
America! America!
May God thy love increase
Till wars are past, and earth at last
May follow Christ in peace.

Happy 4th
The only part of that song I remember was
America, America
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good
with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea.
This is a wonderful song!
Love and peace all over the world and shelter of the Lord. Without HIM we will go into hell.....
Best greetings to you from Dori from the Bavarian Forest
Enjoy your day.

Trust you had a good day.
Amazing how far we've gone from the times when this was written. Beautiful lyrics . . . we live very close to where the parade shooting was yesterday and all of our fireworks and events were cancelled. It made me so sad, especially that this day is now marred forever for those families. Grateful that God is STILL in control in this chaotic world!
A sweet photo and a lovely finish of the Red White and Blue :) The words always bring a tear to me eye, and now because of the latest sadness, and heart is with all the people who lost their loved ones.
Hope you had a great 4th of July!

Hope you had a lovely day!
