| The Star Spangled Banner Oh Say can you see By the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed At the twilight's last gleeming? Who's broad stripes And bright stars Through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched Were so galantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare The bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there Oh say does that Star spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the Free And the home of the Brave? God Bless America 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 praries To the oceans White with foam God Bless America My home sweet home! God Bless America My home sweet home! My Country 'Tis of Thee My country 'tis of thee Sweet land of liberty Of the I sing. Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrims' pride, From every mountain side, Let freedom ring! My native country thee, Land of the noble free, Thy name I love. I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills. My heart with rapture thrills, Like that above. Let music swell the breeze And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom's song. Let mortal tongues awake Let all that breathe partake Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong. Our fathers' God, to Thee, Author of liberty, To thee we sing. Long may our land be brigh, With freedom's holy light. Protect us by thy might, Great God our King. America The Beautiful Oh beautiful for spacious skies; For amber waves of grain; For purple mountain magesties; Above the fruited plain. America! America! God shed his grace on thee, And crown thy good With brotherhood From sea to shining sea! Oh beautiful for pilgrim feet, Whose stern, impassioned stress, A thorough-fare for Freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul In self control, Thy liberty in law. Oh 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 every gain divine. O beautiful for patriot dream That 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! Battle Hymn of the Republic Mine eyes have seen the glory Of the coming of the Lord He is trampling out the vintage Where the grapes of wrath are stored. He hath loosed the fateful lightning Of his terrible swift sword His truth is marching on. Glory! Glory, hallelujah! Glory! Glory, hallelujah! Glory! Glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on! I have seen Him in the watchfires Of a hundred curcling camps They have builded Him an alter In the ev'nin dew and damps I can read his righteous sentence By the dim and flaring lamps His day is marching on! Glory! Glory, hallelujah! Glory! Glory, hallelujah! Glory! Glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on! He has sounded forth the trumpet That shall never sound retreat He is sifting through the hearts Of men before his judgment seat Oh be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant my feet! Our God is marching on! Glory! Glory, hallelujah! Glory! Glory, hallelujah! Glory! Glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on! In the beauty of the lillies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in his bosom That transfigures you and me As He died to make men holy Let us live to make men free, While God is Marching on! Glory! Glory, hallelujah! Glory! Glory, hallelujah! Glory! Glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on! |
