Lord, bless our great nation <br /> Likewise bless each nation <br /> Revive hearts with goodness <br /> With mirth and elation. <br /> <br /> Open eyes that we may see <br /> Out of sheer obscurity <br /> Out of darkness and fantasy <br /> Let confusing shadows flee. <br /> <br /> Lift the coldness of tone, mien <br /> Let bestowal be a tranquil aura <br /> A peaceable habitation <br /> Creation of joy to the marrow.<br /><br />Beth Sudduth Wills<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bless-our-nation/
