God Bless Americans

(This lyric poem can be sung to the melody of "God Bless America:")

God bless Americans, all of us here
May He keep us, and steep us
  In the Love of the Land He reveres

May we prosper, may we flourish
May we all freely strive 
  God bless Americans 
  and help us to thrive  

God bless Americans
Who come from far and near
Cross the oceans, and continents
  We all find a way over here

From Venezuela, 
South Korea
Indonesia
  or Iraq

God bless Americans
  ~ with freedom to strive

God bless Americans
  ~ and help us to thrive

Centennial Anniversary Year of the Composition
    of "God Bless America," by Irving Berlin

Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 6/30/2018 11:28:00 PM Thanks, Charlie … And let's hope help is on the way for our polarized populace, chafing under the current Polarizer-in-Chief. (Yes, you can read between the lines there, if you like). Best wishes, Gershon
