"america `tis of We"

“America `Tis of We”

Our country `t is always of we, 
Chosen of us who make her free__

Therefore let us keep her as family,
Awesome of beautiful, totally free,
In bounds of perfect love’s liberty,
That her child might grow in harmony.

Thus hear of  me of what she means,
Her lakes, her streams, her forested scenes,
The rich meadows, the pastures green,
Of God’s love she resides as queen.

With rivers wide I am quite satisfied,
Above one’s head the eagles glide.

Under her waters big Cat fish hide,
On this great land where fathers died.
