PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA:

Hello, Chicago:

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy: tonight is your answer.

It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voices could be that difference.

It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of Red States and Blue States. We are, and always will be, the United States of America.

It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful about what we can achieve, to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.

It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.

A little bit earlier this evening I received an extra-ordinarily gracious call from Senator McCain. Senator McCain fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him, I congratulate Governor Palin, for all that they have achieved; and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.

I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.

And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both more than you can imagine, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House. And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and I know that my debt to them is beyond measure. To my sister Maya and my sister Auma, all my other brothers and sisters - thank you so much for all the support that you have given me. I am grateful to them.

And to my campaign manager David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best political campaign I think in the history of the United States of America . . . To my chief strategist David Axelrod, who's been a partner with me every step of the way . . . To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics - you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to - it belongs to you. It belongs to you.

I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington - it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.
It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to the cause. It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; it drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers; and from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from the Earth. This is your victory.

I know you didn't do this just to win an election and I know you didn't do it for me. You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime - two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us. There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for their child's college education. There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet, alliances to repair.

The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term, but America - I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you - we as a people will get there.

There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for two-hundred and twenty-one years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.

What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek - it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.

So let us summon a new spirit, of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers - in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people.

Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House - a party founded on the values of self-reliance, and individual liberty, and national unity. Those are values that we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, "We are not enemies, but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection." And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn - I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too.

And all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world - our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those who would tear the world down - we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security - we support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright - tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.

That's the true genius of America - that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She is a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing - Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.

She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.

And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.

At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.

When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.

When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.

She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that We Shall Overcome. Yes we can.

A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.

America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves - if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time - to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope; and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes We Can.

Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.

On Tuesday When You Go To Vote, Just Stay In Line

On Tuesday when you go to vote,
Just stay in line.

Don't let them steal it once again,
Just stay in line.

The time is now, the place is here,
Just stay in line.

We've waited many years for this,
Just stay in line.

We may not get another chance,
Just stay in line.

If you're in line at closing time,
They cannot close!
Just stay in line.

So you can wait them out this time,
Just stay in line.

They cannot force you to go home.
Just stay in line,

What if you cannot stand for long?
Then bring a blanket or a chair,
But stay in line.

What if you need some food or drink?
Then ask someone to go for you,
But stay in line.

What if you need to go to pee?
Then let somebody hold your place,
But stay in line.

No matter what, just stay in line,
And we will win.
Just stay in line.

"Beginning An Investigation Into Family Radio's Claim That The World Will End On October 21, 2011

OCTOBER 1, 2008 *****************************************





"Beginning An Investigation Into Family Radio's Claim That The World Will End On
October 21, 2011"




A Possible Dangerous Deception In Progress


Here is the stark assertion made repeatedly by Harold Camping, President and General
Manager of Family Radio: "Thus, we must realize that October 21, 2011
will be the final day of this earth’s existence." -

Source:


http://www.familyradio.com/graphical/literature/waat/almost_ch03.html




Could this possibly be true? And how did Harold
Camping arrive at this conclusion? If it is true, it is very, very important
for everyone to know about it. If it is not true, then it is a dangerous deception
in progress, and should be stopped immediately in its tracks.


Over the next few days (or weeks) I will be investigating to see for myself
what -- if anything -- the Bible truly says on this subject. Harold Camping says that
he has solid Scriptural evidence to support his conclusion, and he invites us
to read his evidence and come to our own conclusions.


This I will attempt to do, and I invite you all to join me. I will begin by
reading his book, "We Are Almost There," located at

The Twenty-One Greatest Ideas In Human Relationships (Text)

The Twenty-One Greatest Ideas In Human Relationships (Text)

Compiled And Edited By Rev. Bill McGinnis

Public Domain


HTML version of this page is located at =>
http://www.loveallpeople.org/the21.html


1. "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

This is "The Law Of Love," God's most important commandment for all
mankind.

___________________________________________________________

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, "You shall love your
neighbor as yourself." (Galatians 5:14 RSV)
_____________________________________________________________


This is the starting point, the Scriptural Imperative given many times
in the Bible. (See also Matthew 22:39, Mark 12:31, Luke 10:27, Romans
13:8-10, James 2:8, 1 Peter 4:8.)

And who is our neighbor? Every other person is our neighbor. (See Luke
10:29-37 for Jesus' answer to that same question.)

But sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we still don't like the
other person very much, or we still feel anger or resentment. What can
we do in cases like this ?


2. FORGIVE THE OTHER PERSON.

The most troublesome harmful emotion is the emotion of anger. You can
neutralize anger by making a direct conscious decision to forgive the
other person for whatever he may have done to cause you to feel anger
toward him.

("As you forgive, so you will be forgiven." See Matthew 6:14-15)


3. TREAT THE OTHER PERSON THE WAY YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED.

This the "The Golden Rule," our most important guideline for dealing
with other people.

_____________________________________________________________

"So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for
this is the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:12 RSV)
_____________________________________________________________


This is the most important rule in human relations. You can apply this
rule to almost any situation, and you will not be far wrong. The
Golden Rule puts The Law Of Love into action.

******************************************************* <><

The remaining eighteen ideas are specific applications of The Golden
Rule to different kinds of situations.


4. SMILE AND BE FRIENDLY.

You like it when people smile at you and behave in a friendly way. So
do the same to them.


5. BE COURTEOUS.

You like it when people are courteous to you. And you dislike it when
people are discourteous or rude to you. So be courteous in all of your
dealings with others.


6. BE TRUTHFUL, WITHOUT GIVING OFFENSE.

7. REMEMBER THE OTHER PERSON'S NAME, AND USE IT FREQUENTLY.

You like it when other people remember and use your name. So do the
same for them.


8. DON'T ARGUE.

Arguments are very negative. They poison good human relations. You
don't like it when someone argues with you. So don't argue with them.
And if you see an argument coming, take the appropriate steps to
neutralize the argument before it causes too much damage.


9. FIND AREAS OF AGREEMENT.

Relationships are much better when both people focus on their areas of
agreement rather than their areas of disagreement.

Most people agree on more things than they disagree on. So if you
focus on your areas of agreement with the other person, your areas of
disagreement will seem smaller and less important.


10. DON'T CRITICIZE.

Criticism builds hostility and bad attitudes. Criticism is poison to
good human relations.

You don't like to be criticized; so don't criticize other people. They
don't like it, either. And you won't help accomplish anything good by
criticizing.

As your mother should have taught you, "If you can't say something
nice, don't say anything at all."


11. SHOW HONEST APPRECIATION.

You like it when other people take the time and interest to recognize
and appreciate the good things you do. So do the same for them.
Everyone does some things worthy of appreciation. Find them, and
recognize them in the other person.


12. TRY TO SEE THE OTHER PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW.

You like it when the other person understands your point of view and
can see problems the way you see them. So do the same for him. Try
looking at the situation from the other person's point of view.


13. GIVE YOUR FULL ATTENTION TO THE OTHER PERSON WHEN HE IS TALKING.

You like it when people pay full attention to you when you are
talking. So do the same for them.


14. TALK ABOUT THE OTHER PERSON'S INTERESTS.

You like to have other people talk with you about your interests. So
do the same for them. Find out what things they are interested in, and
steer the conversation toward these things.


15. ADMIT YOU MAY BE WRONG.

This idea is surprisingly powerful and useful!

Here's what to say, whenever there is a disagreement as to a matter of
fact: "Now, I may be wrong about this. I frequently am wrong about
things. But this is the way it appears to me:" (And then state your
beliefs.)

By admitting you may be wrong, and by admitting that you frequently
are wrong (You are, you know. We all are.), you almost force the other
person to admit that he, too, may be wrong! Then, with your egos out
of the way, you can both search objectively for the truth!

And if you really are wrong this time, it will be much less
embarrassing for you than if you had been stubbornly insisting that
you were totally right!


16. LET THE OTHER PERSON DO MOST OF THE TALKING.

You like it when people let you do most of the talking. So do the same
for them. It won't hurt you, and you might learn something.


17. LET THE OTHER PERSON TALK ABOUT HIMSELF.

You like to talk about yourself, don't you? We all like to talk about
ourselves! But restrain the urge, and let the other person talk about
himself, instead.


18. LET THE OTHER PERSON TAKE SOME CREDIT.

If something has worked out well, don't grab all the credit for
yourself, even if you think you deserve it all. Spread the credit
around, share it with the other people involved.


19. LET THE OTHER PERSON SAVE FACE.

The expression "saving face" means to maintain dignity, or not to look
like an idiot or a worthless person. Sometimes people do things which
make them look like an idiot or a worthless person. If you can rescue
the other person in such a situation, and help him maintain his
dignity, you have done a very good thing.

And maybe someone will do the same for you some day, when you need it
most! "As you do, so shall it be done unto you."


20. HOLD THE OTHER PERSON, AND YOURSELF, TO HIGH AND NOBLE STANDARDS.

People tend to live up to the expectations others have of them. If you
expect a lot from someone, he tends to give you what you expect.
Likewise, if you expect little from someone, that is what you tend to
get.

So act honestly, and expect honesty from the other person; act
morally, and expect morality from the other person; act fairly, and
expect fairness from the other person.


21. GO THE EXTRA MILE.

You are pleasantly surprised when other people do more for you than
you had asked, or more than you expect. So do the same for them: "Go
the extra mile."

Sarah Palin Would Allow Israel To Drag Us Into War With Iran

Sarah Palin Would Allow Israel To Drag Us Into War With Iran.


In her interview last night with Charles Gibson, Sarah Palin clearly showed that she would not oppose Israel if it decided to attack Iran, and thereby drag the United States into yet another war . . . even a likely World War III.

Here are the exact words, as reported by Fox News at http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/11/raw-data-palins-interview-with-abc-news/#comment-659260

GIBSON: Let me turn to Iran. Do you consider a nuclear Iran to be an existential threat to Israel?

PALIN: I believe that under the leadership of Ahmadinejad, nuclear weapons in the hands of his government are extremely dangerous to everyone on this globe, yes.

GIBSON: So, what should we do about a nuclear Iran?

PALIN: We have got to make sure these weapons of mass destruction, that nuclear weapons are not given to those hands of Ahmadinejad, not that he would use them, but that he would allow terrorists to be able to use them. So we have got to put the pressure on Iran.

GIBSON: What if Israel decided it felt threatened and need to take out the Iranian nuclear facilities?

PALIN: Well, first, we are friends of Israel, and I don’t think that we should second guess the measures that Israel has to take to defend themselves, and for their security.

GIBSON: So if we didn’t second guess it and if they decided they needed to do it, because Iran was an existential threat, we would be cooperative or agree with that?

PALIN: I don’t think we can second guess what Israel has to do to secure its nation.

GIBSON: So if it felt necessary, if it felt the need to defend itself by taking out Iranian nuclear facilities, that would be all right?

PALIN: We cannot second guess the steps that Israel has to take to defend itself.

###

"We cannot second guess the steps that Israel has to take to defend itself."


NOTE: She gave the same answer three times to three slightly different versions of the question, without actually agreeing to the precise words which were asked. By avoiding the exact question, she was able to reframe the question and provide a less chilling, more reasonable-sounding answer.

But sadly, the truth is that she would allow -- without "second guessing" -- Israel to drag us into a likely World War III, without even trying to stop it.

What she should have said is, "No."

We are the United States of America. The state of Israel is basically our child, because we created it in 1948 and we have kept it alive since then. Without us, Israel would not exist as a Jewish state today. Because of this, we are morally responsible for everything Israel ever does wrong in the world. Sometimes it seems like having a juvenile delinquent child. We cannot permit our delinquent child to attack a country and start a war without first receiving our explicit consent. An attack by Israel is an attack by the United States, and it would surely justify any warlike response against us that Iran and its friends might want to launch.

May God help us all.

"After an observation period of about 10 years a follow-up examination was made of 22 Greeks earlier exposed to torture. All had physical symptoms and about 90% of the examinees had chronic psychological symptoms which had appeared after the torture experience, the most notable of which were emotional instability, depression, passivity, fatigue and disturbed sleep."

Difficulty Concentrating, Nightmares, Insomnia, Memory Loss, Fatigue, Anxiety, Depression And Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

"Long-term psychological effects include difficulty concentrating, nightmares, insomnia, memory loss, fatigue, anxiety, depression and posttraumatic stress disorder."

Source: http://www.cvt.org/main.php/Advocacy/TortureisUn-American/EffectsofPsychologicalTorture


Depression, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

"The psychological effects of torture can include major depression, anxiety, and the constellation of symptoms known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Survivors of torture and trauma may also experience feelings of shame, guilt, powerlessness or worthlessness, an inability to visualize the future, and difficulty connecting to other people."

Source: http://www.astt.org/torture.html


NOTE: "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened."

"Most people with PTSD repeatedly relive the trauma in their thoughts during the day and in nightmares when they sleep. These are called flashbacks. Flashbacks may consist of images, sounds, smells, or feelings, and are often triggered by ordinary occurrences, such as a door slamming or a car backfiring on the street. A person having a flashback may lose touch with reality and believe that the traumatic incident is happening all over again."

"Yes We Can" - the poem, from the Barack Obama campaign for President

"Yes We Can" - the poem.

From The Barack Obama Campaign For President
With words,links to the video, and links to an MP3 audio file made from the video.
This page produced by Rev. Bill McGinnis


HTML version located at http://www.loveallpeople.org/yeswecan.html

"Yes We Can" - the poem.
From a speech by Barack Obama and a video made from it. Plus links to the video and to an MP3 made of its soundtrack.


YES WE CAN

It was a creed, written into the founding documents
That declared the destiny of a nation:
Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists
As they blazed a trail for freedom:
Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from the shores,
Pioneers who pushed westward aginst the unforgiving wilderness:
Yes we can.


It was a call of workers who organized,
Women who reached for the ballots,
A president who chose the moon as our new frontier,
And a King who took us to the mountaintop,
And pointed the way to the promised land:


Yes we can, to justice and equality.

Yes we can.

Yes we can, to opportunity and prosperity,
Yes we can, to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
Yes we can.

We know the battle ahead will be long.
But always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way,
Nothing can stand in the way of the power
Of millions of voices calling for change.

We want change.

We have been told we cannot do this, by a chorus of cynics
That will only grow louder and more dissonant.
We have been asked to pause for a reality check.
We've been warned against offering the people of this nation, false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America,
There has never been anything false about hope.

We want change.

For the hopes of the little girl
Who goes to the public school in Dillon
Are same as the dreams of the boy
Who learns on the streets of LA.

We will remember that there is something happening in America,
That we are not as divided as our politcs suggest.
That we are one people, we are one nation.
And together we will begin the next great chapter in the American story
With three words that will ringFrom coast to coast, from sea to shining sea:

Yes we can.

Welcome To The Index Of Prayers4You, At INTERNET CHURCH OF CHRIST
Prayers And Blessings For All People
By Rev. Bill McGinnis, DirectorLoveAllPeople.org

HTML version of this page, with active links, is at http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/prayerindex.html


All prayers listed here are in the Public Domain.

The essential teaching of Jesus is "Love all people as yourself." Everything else is subordinate to this one thing. (For details, click => http://www.internetchurchofchrist.org/pearl-essential.html .) Jesus instructs His followers to pray for the benefit of all people, even their enemies, when He says . . .
"You have heard that it was said, `You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Source: Matthew 5:43-48 (RSV)

Therefore, following His instructions, I have written some prayers and blessings for you -- no matter who you are, or what you may have done, or what you now believe -- as shown on the list below. Everything here is now Public Domain, free to copy, free to use however you wish, without restriction. So please disregard any copyright notices which may still attached to earlier versions of these prayers. Take them, and be blessed!

If you are a Christian who has fallen away from the Lord, now is the time to come back.
Say this prayer with me, sincerely, and He will take you back, forgiven, as if you had never left Him.

O Lord, I had You with me, and I strayed.
I turned my back on You and went away.
But now I see the error of my ways,
And now I want to turn again to you.

* * *
I pray that You will come into my life,
As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me.
I know that You are truly Son of God,
I know that You have risen from the dead,
I know that only You can save my soul.
I need Your guidance, and I need Your love;
I want to follow everywhere You lead.
I truly do repent of all my sins;
I feel remorse for evil I have done;
I know that only You can make me clean.
I turn my back on sin and look to You.
I am forgiving all who did me harm,
As You are now forgiving all my sins.
And now as I commit myself to You,
I pray that You commit Yourself to me.
I pray that You will take me as I am,
And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

Congratulations! He is with you once again.

Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.

"Following God's Law For Us"

Following God's Law For Us

All of God's law for us is fulfilled if we
love our neighbor as ourself. (Galatians 5:14)

Everyone is our neighbor. (Luke 10:25-37)

Therefore, all of God's law for us is fulfilled
if we love all people as ourself.

We express this love by treating all others
as we would like to be treated. (Matthew 7:12)

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And every gain divine!

O beautiful for patriot 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!
