Description
As part of a 9/11 compilation, this song acknowledges the gratitude of the people who forged America, and in order to contrast it with "Hymn [Part 2]," is heavy with the spiritual imagery and language common to the religious colonies.
Lyrics
God keep our nation and keep us free. Each generation gives thanks to Thee. For virgin forests, and rolling plains, and ample harvest, we praise Your Name. We were tired, poor and hungry, and You led us to the promised land. Over a dark and stormy ocean You led us by Your mighty hand. Oh, God of Heaven, to Thee we pray For all You've given to make our way Here and today, to You we say We'll never forget
