Tune: | [America beloved, prize of the pilgrims' quest] |
Composer: | J. H. Fillmore |
1 America beloved, prize of the pilgrims’ quest;
America beloved, in thee our hearts have rest;
Uncounted ships sail toward thee, uncounted wealth is thine;
America beloved, thou dost our love enshrine.
Refrain:
America beloved, thine ancient faith renew;
America beloved, May God preserve thee true.
2 America beloved, thy day is yet to be;
Beyond our proudest dreaming thy God has place for thee;
Front nobly toward the future, keep clear-eyed, free to choose,
In trade with greed and cunning thy birth-right never lose. [Refrain]
3 America beloved, let not thy faith grow dim;
Thro all the generations, God keep thee true to Him;
For those who shall come after, God keep thee true today;
America beloved, for thee, for thee we pray! [Refrain]
