WE HEAR AMERICA SINGING
We hear America Singing
Songs of grateful hearts
Melodies of good cheer
Hymns of faith and hope
Tunes of patriotism dear
We watch America working
To keep freedom's beacon burning
As we add another log
To the fire of liberty
To light our way through the fog
And to set the captives free
We witness America praying
For a return to our forefathers’ faith
For more trust in a God that’s true
For more reliance on his Spirit
For his grace to see us through
We hear America singing
Every mountain rings with laughter
Every forest sings songs of kindness sown
Every valley echoes praises joyously
Every flower of the field whispers
your deeds are known
