n GOD, FATHER OF AMERICA:
" Thou has formed this union of states sealing
it with high destiny,
That our nation be light to all peoples in their dark
despair,
Life to all peoples in their fear of death,
Love to all peoples under their yoke of hate.
For this destiny, Thou dost teach us to fly as the
eagle,
Girding us with lightning and thunder,
Enriching us with treasures in field and fold.
O God, bless America with Thy shielding graces,
Lest we. become nation without light our eyes
turned from Thee.
nation without life, cur souls sundered from
Thee,
nation without love, our hearts forgetting Thee.
o God, give us victory that is just, merciful and
wise,
For Thou has chosen America TO be the soul of
Thy justice,
The medium of Thy mercy,
The instrument Of Thy wisdom.
Let all nations know that our justice comes from
Thy spirit,
Our mercy from Thy heart,
Our wisdom from Thy mind,
Our victory from Thy strength.
Bless us, O God with manifold graces.
Togive freely Of what we have,
To give fullv of what we are,
In victory to give ourselves alone to Thee.
