James Ephraim McGirt

1874-1930 / USA

God Bless Our Country

God bless our home, land of the free,
And those who rule, who e'er they be;
Protect the flag, and let it wave
Over all free men, not the slave.
May we, dear Lord, sustain its name;
Forbid that it shall trail in shame;
To those who from oppression flee
May this, our land, a refuge be.

May we sustain all we profess;
Forbid that we should man oppress;
May we accept fraternal love
And live as we must live above.
