- America, America,
The shouts of war shall cease ;
The glory dawns ! the day is come
Of victory and peace
And now upon a larger plan
We'll build the common good,
The temple of the love of man,
The House of Brotherhood! - What though its stones were laid in tears,
Its pillars red with wrong,
Its walls shall rise through patient years
To soaring spires of song!
For on this house shall faith attend
With Joy on airy wing,
And flaming loyalty ascend
To God the only King! - America, America,
Ring out the glad refrain
Salute the flag salute the dead
That have not died in vain!
O glory! glory to thy plan
To build the common good
The temple of the rights of .man,
The House of Brotherhood! Amen.
