O this our land! Divine guidance
For one of God’s grand schemes,
Blessed with Providence’s abundance,
Exceeds the Pilgrims’ dreams!
America, America -
Earth’s Eden by two seas,
From Pacific to Atlantic,
This land’s for you and me!
O this our land! Liberty stands
Where freedom bells still ring;
Peopled by men from different lands,
One voice to thee we sing:
America, America,
We stand united as one,
And will safeguard, with all our hearts,
This land that freedom’s won!
O this our land! For great purpose,
For government ideals,
Of and By and For the people,
Our Constitution reveals!
America, America,
We firmly stand by thee
We’re free to speak, our lives we seek
In this land of the free!
O this our land! For country strong,
That’s guarded us through the years,
To protect our land against wrong
And keep us free from fears!
America, America,
See how our flag still wave,
We will ensure it will endure
As banner of the brave!
O this our land! Equality –
The common thread to bind
Our mosaic cultures tapestry,
Bright beacon to mankind.
America, America,
Let’s walk in brotherhood,
With tolerance, not ignorance,
To find our common good!
O this our land! May God’s grace flow
To all who honor Him,
Free to worship to our faiths show
With different songs and hymns!
America, America,
Adore we God the same,
We respect all and free to call
One God by different names!
O this our land! For clear lakes blue,
That mirror endless skies;
For great rivers, prairie plains true,
Green forests, mountain highs!
America, America,
May God keep watch on us
And guide our hand to use this land,
Preserve her and we must!
