dinatcs that all contests against entries

HYMN.FOR AMERICA
By William Watson

Great and fair is she, our land.
High of heart and strong OF hand.
Dawn is on her forehead still,
I'm her veins youth IS arrowy thrill.
Here are riches. might and fame,
All the earth rcsounds her name.
In her roJdstcad naSIes ride,
Had she need of naught beside.
Power Unseen. before whose eyes
Nations fall and nations rise,
Grant she climb not TO her goal
All forgetful Of her soul.
Firm IN honor he she found
Justice armed and mercy crowned.
Blcst in labor, blcst in case,
Blcst in noiselcss charities:
Unenslavcd by needs that must
Yield full soon TO moth and rust.
Let her hold n light on high
Men unborn may travel by.
Mightier still she then shall stand,
Nodded by Thy secret hand,
Power Eternal, at whose call
Nations rise and nations fall.
