Oh Beautiful for patriot's dream, That sees beyond the years.Thine alabaster cities gleam, Undimmed by human tears--America, America God shed His grace on thee...And crown Thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.
What a beautiful expression of the exaltation of our nation, in growth and life, in spite of the sad providences that loom. She was obviously writing in the shadow of the horrors of the civil war. Though tears are flowing in every family in the nation, yet, God has still prospered and allowed the Industrial Revolution to grow our people and our cities.
Bless and anoint our nation to remember You. Bless the words of our mouth to come to fruition, Crowning good, with brotherhood...
