WHITE RIBBON BENEDICTION
"The Lord bless thee and keep thee. The lord make His face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee. The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace." Amen.
AMERICA! THE BEAUTIFUL-
O, beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
O, beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impassioned stress,
O, beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
O, beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years.
For puple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
A thoroughfare for freedome beat
Across the wilderness!
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee.
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
