This is the hour for song.

Let myria-throated harmony

Rise jubilant and strong.

Forward, invincible with song,

Loved homeland of the free.

With mighty steps and mighty songs,

Achieve your destiny.

A singing nation can prevail

Against the strongest foe.

A singing people marches on,

Undaunted as they go.

Then sweep the strings with valiant song,

Let hill and valley ring.

Lift up your hearts and voices, all

America, and sing!

And watched it gently wave;

I saw amidst the stars and stripes

America, the great....

A land to which the masses turn,

A land that still is free,

A country that still has been spared

The rule of tyranny.

I stood beside the grand old flag,

The tried red, white and blue....

Compatriots , this flag and I,

Of a nation fair to view.

A nation built upon God’s truth,

Where He is still the key

To keeping this, our glorious land,

A torch of liberty.
