�AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain maiesties
Above the fruited plainl
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And cro\,vn thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

0

beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impas'sion'd stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! Arnerica! God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

�AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain maiesties
Above the fruited plainl
Americat Americat 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 beat
Across the wildernesst
America! America! C'od mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
thy liberty in lawl

�AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amberwaves of grain,
For purple mountain maiesties
Above the fruited plainl
America! Americaj God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining seat
O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impassion'd stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
Americal America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

And crown thy good with brotherhood

Confirm thv soul in self-control,

�AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waveJ of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain !
America ! Americi! 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 stressA thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness !
America ! America I God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law !

AT EIGHT O'CLOCK

�AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above 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 stressA thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness !
America ! America I C,od rnend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,

Thy liberty in

law

!

O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country lov'd,
And mercy more than life !
America ! America I May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine !

�AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain !
America ! Americfl 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 stressA thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness !
America ! America I God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,

Thy liberty in

law

!

O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more lhut self their country lov'd,
And mercy more than life !
America ! America I May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness?
And ev'ry gain divine !

�AMERICA, THE BEATITIFUL
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! Americi! 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 stressA thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness !
America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more ihan self their country lov'd,
And mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine!

For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above 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 stressA thorough fare for freedom beat
Acrois the wilderness !
Amirica! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country lov'd,
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 spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! Americi! 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 stressA thorough fare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness !
America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more ihan self their country lov'd,
And mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine!

FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH
For the beauty of the earth;
For the glory of the skies.;
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies:
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For the wonder ofeach hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars of light:
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth, and friends above;
For all gentle thoughts and mild:
Lord of all to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
