Bless This Land

T’was on the 4th of a summer month
So many years ago,
When forefathers, sons and daughters,
Gave lives so our country could grow.

They fought for the rights and freedom we have;
They fought for their families too.
They fought against Tyrants and unrighteous law,
And did this for me and for you.

These patriots fought for the freedom to pray,
And to worship the God of their choice.
Then against bitter odds, but with divine help
They fought, to be Government’s voice.

So now we here stand, in this favored land
With freedom and liberty too.
To guard and protect and cherish these rights,
Is something that we should all do.

Now join me this day on the 4th of July
As we raise our voices to say;
God bless this land and this Government too.
God bless, the U. S. of A.!
