God Bless America


For the Promises of Spring,
For the heron on the wing,
For the song the blackbirds sing,
Gracious Lord, we thank Thee!

For the Summer's roses red,
For the fragrance sweet they shed,
For the cloudless skies overhead,
Gracious Lord, we thank Thee!

For the Autumn's purple haze,
For the beauty of her ways,
For the fruitful harvest days,
Gracious Lord, we thank Thee!

For the Winter, white and drear,
For the woodlands gaunt and sere,
For the passing of the year, 
Gracious Lord we thank thee!

For the truth that makes men free,
For the love that leads to Thee,
For the life that is to be, 
Gracious Lord, we thank Thee!
