lyrics

How beautiful the twilight skies
Unfolding o'er the fields
Affecting wistful sentiments
To which my body yields
America, America
Vous etes ma reverie
With fruitful lands and hills so grand
From sea to shining sea

Anticipation
Transitory Elation
Find Consolation
In the American Hymn

O Beautiful are all my dreams
That see beyond the years
And terrible are all the ones
That spur my latent fears
America, America
What do you vest in me
Transient cares or earth and air
And music hearted sea?

Anticipation
Transitory Elation
Find Consolation
In the American Hymn

Merciful Hearts
Kneel before you
Cry out to you
Implore you
