Day #19: 30 Day Challenge, Music-Style...America The Beautiful
I respectfully dedicate today's Day #19: 30 Day Challenge, Music-Style...America The Beautiful to the 22 Navy S.E.A.L.s lost over Afghanistan. Once a sailor, always a sailor- and I wish my shipmates a deep, heartfelt "Fair winds and following seas". May the Lord God who knows the number of all our days bless and keep your families until they see you again.
America the Beautiful
Melody by Samuel Ward
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!
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
