Americans Creed: Student

The American's Creed by William Tyler Page

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people;
whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a
sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon
those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their
lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to
respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

Written 1917, accepted by the United States House of Representatives on April 3, 1918.

Speaker: Chris ONeil, Associate Pastor, Coast Life Work, Eastside, Oregon

Song, God Bless America

National Anthem: The Star Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Key 1814

O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

America My country, tis of Thee Lyrics

by Samuel F. Smith 1832

My country, tis of Thee, Let music swell the breeze,

Sweet Land of Liberty And ring from all the trees
Of thee I sing; Sweet Freedoms song;
Land where my fathers died, Let mortal tongues awake;
Land of the pilgrims pride, Let all that breathe partake;
From every mountain side Let rocks their silence break,
Let Freedom ring. The sound prolong.

My native country, thee, Our fathers God to Thee,

Land of the noble free, Author of Liberty,
Thy name I love; To thee we sing,
I love thy rocks and rills, Long may our land be bright
Thy woods and templed hills, With Freedoms holy light,
My heart with rapture thrills Protect us by thy might
Like that above. Great God, our King.

God Bless America by Irving Berlin

God bless America, land that I love

Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with the light from above
From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America, my home sweet home
From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America, my home sweet home
God bless America, my home sweet home
