GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY.

 God bless our home, land of the free, And those who rule, who e'er they be; Protect the flag, and let it wave Over all free men, not the slave. May we, dear Lord, sustain its name; Forbid that it shall trail in shame; To those who from oppression flee May this, our land, a refuge be. 

 May we sustain all we profess; Forbid that we should man oppress; May we accept fraternal love And live as we must live above.
