America

God built Him continent of glory and filled it with
treasures untold;
He carpeed with softrolling prairies and coumned it
with laundering mountains;
He studded it with sweetflowng fountains and traced
it with long-winding streams
He planted with deep-shadowed forests and filled them
them with song.
Then He called unto thousand peoples and summoned
the bravest among them.
They from the ends of the earth each bearing
gift and hope.
The glow of adventure was in their eyes and in their
hearts the glory of hope.
And out of the bounty Of earth and the labor of men,
out of the longing of hearts and the prayer of souls
out OF the memory of ages and hopes of the world
God fashioned nation in love- blessed it with pur
pose sublime-and called it
