rqmefdca From ocean to ocean, Franz valley to plain, From Vermont to Texas, From Utah to Maine, O'er mountains and prairies, 'C ross rivers and streams, ll here the wind softly whistles, W'here the sun sends its beams, Uvhere wild flowers bloom fairer. And blue skies are serene. As soft downy clouds Drift o'er hill and ravine, In your land, my land, our land! W' here rivers meander Like slithering snakes. W' here geysers gush upward Uvhile the earth round them quakes, W' here forests are towering O'er hill and o'er dale, Il here bobolinks, robins, Cardinals, and quail Sing pure songs of delight For the grandeur that's here: The elegance swells II ith the birth of each year In your land, my land, our land! By chains we were shackled Before tyranny's purge, But chains cannot halter Freedom's ferce surge For Freedom was surging Through the souls of those who Brared hardships and suffering For me and for you: Yes, God made this country, And men made it strong: It will live through the ages In story and song- Your land, my land, our land! Think of Abraham Lincoln And George Wfashington! Think of all these great heroes, And the work they have done To strengthen ourbcountry In honor and fame: It lives in our minds Like a hot searing flame- America-land where Any church bell can ring, For ez ry woman's her queen, E1 ry man is his king: In your land, my land, our land!

They have made the supreme sacrihce to preserve our American way of life. In the words of a great champion of liberty, Abraham Lincoln, we unite in pledging That from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotiong that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.
