277. As Goes America So Goes the World

1 As goes America, so goes the world,
Here where the fight for truth is raging,
As goes America, so goes the world,
Here where the hosts are now engaging.

Refrain:
Stand thou for righteousness, people so blest,
Win thou the victory, greatest and best;
Lead on so grand and free, Nation of destiny,
As goes America, so goes the world.

2 As goes America, so goes the world,
Here freedom makes her last endeavor,
As goes America, so goes the world,
Fails she, and all is lost forever. [Refrain]

3 As goes America, so goes the world,
Here lift we Christ, the light bestowing,
As goes America, so goes the world,
Here serve we God in rightful doing. [Refrain]

4 As goes America, so goes the world,
Foremost and highest is her station,
As goes America, so goes the world,
Leader and guide to every nation. [Refrain]
