America (My Country ‘Tis of Thee) by Samuel Francis Smith Words by Katharine Lee Bates, Melody by Samuel Ward My country, 'tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty O beautiful for spacious skies, Of thee I sing; For amber waves of grain, Land where my fathers died, For purple mountain majesties Land of the pilgrims' pride, Above the fruited plain! From every mountain side America! America! Let Freedom ring. God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood My native country, thee, From sea to shining sea! Land of the noble free, Thy name I love; O beautiful for heroes proved I love thy rocks and rills, In liberating strife. Thy woods and templed hills, Who more than self their country loved My heart with rapture thrills And mercy more than life! Like that above. America! America! May God thy gold refine Let music swell the breeze, Till all success be nobleness And ring from all the trees And every gain divine! Sweet Freedom's ; Let mortal tongues awake; O beautiful for patriot dream Let all that breathe partake; That sees beyond the years Let rocks their silence break, Thine alabaster cities gleam The sound prolong. Undimmed by human tears! America! America! Our fathers' God to Thee, God shed his grace on thee Author of Liberty, And crown thy good with brotherhood To thee we sing, From sea to shining sea! Long may our land be bright With Freedom's holy light, You're a Grand Old Flag Protect us by thy might by George M. Cohan Great God, our King. You're a grand old flag, You're a high flying flag by And forever in peace may you wave. You're the emblem of God Bless America, The land I love. Land that I love. The home of the free and the brave. Stand beside her, and guide her Ev'ry heart beats true Thru the night with a light from above. 'neath the Red, White and Blue, From the mountains, to the prairies, Where there's never a boast or brag. To the oceans, white with foam Should auld acquaintance be forgot, God bless America, My home sweet home. Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

1 God Bless The U.S.A. by Lee Greenwood Yankee Doodle went to town, If tomorrow all the things were gone, A-riding on a pony; I’d worked for all my life. Stuck a feather in his cap And I had to start again, And called it macaroni. With just my children and my wife.

chorus: I’d thank my lucky stars, Yankee Doodle keep it up, To be livin here today. , ‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom, Mind the music and the step And they can’t take that away. And with the girls be handy.

chorus:

And I’m proud to be an American, Father and I went down to camp Where at least I know I’m free. Along with Captain Gooding And I won’t forget the men who died, And there we saw the men and boys, As Who gave that right to me. thick as hasty pudding. And I gladly stand up, (chorus) Next to you and defend her still today.

‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land, There was Colonel Washington, God bless the USA. Upon a strapping stallion,

A-giving orders to his men, From the lakes of Minnesota, I guess there was a million. to the hills of Tennessee. (chorus) Across the plains of Texas,

From sea to shining sea.

The Star Spangled Banner From Detroit down to Houston, by Francis Scott Key and New York to L.A. Oh, say, can you see Well there's pride in every American heart, By the dawn's early light, and its time we stand and say. What so proudly we hailed (chorus) At the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, Through the perilous fight, Stars and Stripes Forever O'er the ramparts we watched, by John Phillip Sousa Were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, Hurrah for the flag of the free! The bombs bursting in air, May it wave as our standard forever, Gave proof through the night The gem of the land and the sea, That our flag was still there. The banner of the right. O say, does that star-spangled banner Let despots remember the day Yet wave When our fathers with mighty endeavor O'er the land of the free Proclaimed as they marched to the fray And the home of the brave? That by their might and by their right It waves forever.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! As I was walking, Hallelujah! That ribbon of highway, I saw above me Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is That endless skyway, marching on. I saw below me That golden valley. I have seen him in the watch-fires of a This land was made for you and me. hundred circling camps; They have builded him an altar in the I've roamed and rambled evening dews and damps; And I've followed my footsteps I can read his righteous sentence by the dim To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts and flaring lamps: And all around me a voice was sounding His day is marching on. This land was made for you and me

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! The sun comes shining Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! As I was strolling Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! The wheat fields waving His day is marching on.

In the squares of the city I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart In the shadow of the steeple She's my Yankee Doodle joy Near the relief office Yankee Doodle came to London I see my people Just to ride the ponies And some are grumblin' I am the Yankee Doodle Boy And some are wonderin' If this land's still made for you and me.

Nobody living can ever stop me As I go walking That freedom highway Nobody living can make me turn back This land was made for you and me

3 The Hammer Song Let There Be Peace On Earth Words & music by Lee Hays & Words and music by Jill Jackson and Sy Miller

If I had a hammer Let there be peace on earth, I'd hammer in the morning and let it begin with me. I'd hammer in the evening Let there be peace on earth, All over this land, the peace that was meant to be. I'd hammer out danger I'd hammer out a warning With God as our father, brothers all are we, I'd hammer out love between my brothers Let me walk with my brother, and my sisters in perfect harmony. All over this land. Let peace begin with me, If I had a bell let this be the moment now, I'd ring it in the morning With ev'ry step I take, I'd ring it in the evening let this be my solemn vow, All over this land, I'd ring out danger To take each moment and live each moment I'd ring out a warning in peace, eternally. I'd ring out love between my brothers and Let there be peace on Earth, my sisters and let it begin with me. All over this land.

If I had a song I'd sing it in the morning When Johnny Comes Marching Home I'd sing it in the evening words and music by Patrick S.

I'd sing out love between my brothers and We'll give him a hearty welcome then, my sisters Hurrah, hurrah! All over this land. The men will cheer, the boys will shout, The ladies they will all turn out, Now I've got a hammer And we'll all feel gay, And I've got a bell when Johnny comes marching home. And I've got a song to sing All over this land, The old church bell will peal with joy, It's a hammer of justice Hurrah, hurrah! It's a bell of freedom To welcome home our darling boy, It's a song about love between my brothers Hurrah, hurrah! and my sisters The village lads and lassies say, All over this land. With they will strew the way, And we'll all feel gay, when Johnny comes marching home.
