Psalm of Thanksgiving God Bless America Psalms 100 Irving Berlin, 1918; revised 1938 Spoken Introduction While the storm clouds gather far across the sea, Let us swear allegiance to a land that’s free, Let us all be grateful for a land so fair, As we raise our voices I a solemn prayer, Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all you lands! Serve the LORD with gladness; God bless America, land that I love Come before His Presence with singing. Stand beside her and guide her Know that the LORD, He is God; Through the night with the light from above It is He who has made us, and not we Ourselves From the mountains to the prairies, We are His people and the sheep of His Pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
