Let us Pray today for our Country. The christian patriotic hymn “America the Beautiful” is really a powerful prayer to God for our freedom, for the good of all peoples & country, a prayer of hope for America, especially needed now as some actions taken up in our country are just not ‘so beautiful, just or right’. Look up the full lyrics and pray it. See below how this hymn is asking God to Bless America so we can stay beautiful!
“O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!”
“America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
“O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea!”
