“America - Come Home !”
Condensed version of lyric / keyboard production by VaLaine Carlson
1. The Battle Hymn of the Republic / J. W. Howe / 1 / Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord / He is
trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored / He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword / His
truth is marching on / 2 / I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps / They have builded Him an altar in the
evening dews and damps / I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps / His day is marching on / 3 / I have read
a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel / "As ye deal with my condemners so with you my grace shall deal" / Let the hero born
of woman crush the serpent with His heel / Since God is marching on / 4 / He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call
retreat / He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat / O be swift my soul to answer Him - be jubilant my feet / Our
God is marching on / Glory - glory - hallelujah! (3 x’s) His truth is marching on!
/ 5 / In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea / With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me / As He died
to make men holy - let us die to make men free / While God is marching on / (Chorus/tag)
2. The Star Spangled Banner / F. S. Key / 1 / Oh say can you see by the dawn’s early light / What so proudly we hailed
at the twilight’s last gleaming / Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight / O’er the ramparts we watched were
so gallantly streaming / And the rockets’ red glare - the bombs bursting in
air / Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there / Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave / O’er the land of
the free and the home of the brave / 2 / On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep / Where the foe’s haughty host in
dread silence reposes / What is that which the breeze - o’er the towering steep / As it fitfully blows - half conceals - half discloses /
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam / In full glory reflected now shines in the stream / ‘Tis the star-spangled
banner - oh long may it wave / O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave / 3 / And where is that band who so vauntingly
swore / That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion / A home and a country shall leave us no more / Their blood has washed
out their foul footsteps’ pollution / No refuge could save the hireling and slave / From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave /
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave / O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave
/ 4 / O’ thus be it ever - when freemen shall stand / Between their loved home and the war’s desolation / Blest with victory and
peace - may the heav’n rescued land / Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation / Then conquer we must - when
our cause it is just / And this be our motto - “In God Is Our Trust” / And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave / (O’er the
land of the free & the home of the brave!) repeated
3. America / S. F. Smith / 1 / My country - tis of thee - sweet land of liberty - of thee I sing / Land where my fathers died land of the pilgrims' pride / From every mountainside let freedom ring / VaLaine’s Refrain: Let freedom ring - Lord (3 x’s) - we
sing / 2 / My native country - thee - land of the noble free - thy name I love /
I love thy rocks and rills - thy woods and templed hills / My heart with rapture thrills - like that above / 3 / Let music swell the
breeze - and ring from all the trees - sweet freedom's song / Let mortal tongues awake - let all that breathe partake / Let rocks their
silence break - the sound prolong / Refrain (2 x’s) / 4 / Our fathers' God - to thee - author of liberty - to thee we sing / Long may
our land be bright - with freedom's holy light / Protect us by Thy might - great God - our King / Repeat a verse / (Refrain, repeat
& fade out) Jesus - our King(Savior)
(3 x‘s) - to You we sing / Let freedom ring - Lord (3 x’s) - we sing
4. America the Beautiful / K. L. Bates / S. A. Ward / 1 / O beautiful for spacious skies - for amber waves of grain / For
purple mountain majesties above thy fruited plain / America - America - God shed His grace on thee / And crown thy good with
brotherhood - from sea to shining sea / 2 / O beautiful for pilgrim feet - whose stern impassioned stress / A thoroughfare of freedom
beat - across the wilderness / America - America - God mend thine every flaw / Confirm thy soul in self-control - Thy liberty in law /
3 / 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 / 4 / 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 / (repeat a stanza of choice)
