1. O Lord our God, thy mighty hand Hath made our country free;
2. The strength of every state increase In union's golden chain;
From all her broad and happy land May worship rise to thee.
Her thousand cities fill with peace, Her million fields with grain.
Fulfill the promise of her youth, Her liberty defend;
The virtues of her mingled blood In one new people blend;
By law and order, love and truth, America, America befriend!
By unity and brotherhood, America, America befriend!

3. O suffer not her feet to stray,
But guide her untaught might
That she may walk in peaceful day,
And lead the world in light.
Bring down the proud, lift up the poor,
Unequal ways amend;
By justice, nationwide and sure,
America, America befriend!

4. Through all the waiting land proclaim
Thy gospel of good will;
And may the joy of Jesus' name
In every bosom thrill.
O'er hill and vale, from sea to sea,
Thy holy reign extend;
By faith and hope and charity
America, America befriend!
