America the Beautiful

 

 

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


 

 

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassion'd stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness.
America! America!
God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.

 

 

O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life.
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine.

 

         

 

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.

 



The Pledge of Allegiance


    
      

I pledge Allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible,
with Liberty and Justice for all.

 

 

 


The Declaration of Independence

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

May God Bless America

 

Whom will you serve?
Exercise your freedom of choice! Whom will you serve?

May God continue to bless America,
and may God bless you as you serve Him.

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than
all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at
work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ
Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21 NIV
