222. God Bless Our Free America

1 God bless our free America, the freeman’s pride and boast;
Where Liberty reigns o’er the land and fearless leads her host.
From North to South and East to West we sing bright Freedom’s song—
God bless America the free, Her praises loud prolong.

2 From hill and dale we sing “All hail” to earth’s oncoming host,
And welcome give to all who come true patriots to our coast.
Then sound the clarion trumpet cry above th’advancing throng—
God bless America the free, Her praises loud prolong.

3 The Stars and Stripes, our emblem bright, sweet liberty shall wave
Till ev’ry land sees Freedom’s sign emblazoned there to save.
Then onward still and onward go, and this our constant song—
God bless America the free, Her praises loud prolong.

4 And ever, long as Time shall last, and brave men tread the sod,
Will we remember “Right is Might,” and put our trust in God.
Then firm, united let us stand and sing the patriot song—
God bless America the free, Her praises loud prolong.
