INTRODUCTION

Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims pride,
From ev'ry mountain side
Let freedom ring

"God of Our Fathers"
Text: Daniel C. Roberts
Music: George W. Warren


God of our fathers,
Whose almighty hand,
Leads forth in beauty
All the starry band.
Of shining worlds,
In splendor through the skies,
Our grateful songs
Before Thy throne arise.

"My Country, 'Tis of Thee"
Text: Samuel F. Smith
Music: Thesaurus Musicus, c. 1745


Our fathers' God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing:
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light,
Protect us by thy might,
Great God our King!

"America, the Beautiful
Text: Katharine Lee Bates
Music: Samuel A. Ward


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!

ENDING

And, glory laud, And praise be ever Thine!
