Verse 1
America, so strong and bold,
A precious gift, more than gold.
Freedom and faith, our guiding sign,
A light that ever shines.
Chorus
O land of hope, O land of light,
Guided by truth through day and night.
With heart and voice we sing so free,
God bless our liberty.
Verse 2
Mountains rise and rivers flow,
Blessings fall and mercy grows.
Voices join from shore to shore,
One nation evermore.
Verse 3
Through the storm and through the flame,
God’s great love will still remain.
Courage strong, our hearts are true,
His grace will see us through.
Verse 4
America, so strong, so free,
Forever let it be.
Faithful hands and lifted song,
Together we belong.
Bridge
From sea to shining sea,
Your hand has guided me.
Through every trial and test,
In You we find our rest.
Chorus (repeat)
O land of hope, O land of light,
Guided by truth through day and night.
With heart and voice we sing so free,
God bless our liberty.
