Lyrics:

  How can we stand by and watch it all go, our great land, our sacred land.
Bought by the blood of our forefathers, brave men who took a righteous stand.

Heal our land, save our land, keep our country, in thy hand.
Heal our land, Heavenly Father, keep our country in thy sacred hand!

Help us to rise up and do what is right, keep our constitution strong.
Faith of our fathers is still burning bright in our hearts, oh hear our song.

Heal our land, save our land, keep our country, in thy hand.
Heal our land, Heavenly Father, keep our Country in thy sacred hand!

America! America! God shed His grace on thee. 
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea. 

This is a land which is choice above all, we are free, yes we are free.
If we but serve thee, our most Holy God, Thou wilt keep our liberty.

Heal our land, save our land, keep our country, in thy hand.
Heal our land, Heavenly Father, keep our country in thy sacred hand!

America! America! God shed His grace on thee. 
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.
