America, thou peerless one, Our own loved mother-land! Turn from the crash of battles grim, With white robed Peace now stand! Place Honor high above all else Like one great radiant star, And let thy teeming millions now Acclaim her from afar. @3Refrain:@1 America! triumphant one, Thy destiny is known. The din and smoke and strife are done, Kneel humbly at God's throne. Then to earth's struggling peoples go, Go with a love sublime, Go in the might of service true, Bring forth a happier time! Oh, keep undimm'd thy upward look, And herald the new day When Peace shall make all nations one With her own perfect sway. And may our God who led thee on Through warfare's bitter strife, Gird thee to help all nations now And bring the World new life! @3Refrain:@1 America! triumphant one, Thy destiny is known. The din and smoke and strife are done, Kneel humbly at God's throne. Then to earth's struggling peoples go, Go with a love sublime, Go in the might of service true, Bring forth a happier time! |
