The Land We Love Is Calling

The land we love is call­ing

From plain and mount­ain height

Her val­iant sons and daugh­ters

To lift her bea­con light;

From coast to coast the an­swer

Comes ring­ing loud and free

America

Ame­ri­ca

We bring our lives to thee.

The soul starved mount­ain high­lands

The need of coun­try­side

The city’s creep­ing dark­ness

Where sin and fear ab­ide

Shall see the march­ing thou­sands

That come from far and near:

America

Ame­ri­ca

Thy plead­ing call we hear!

O her­alds of the morn­ing

Stand in your ra­di­ant might

Splendid with faith tri­umph­ant

Touched by the liv­ing light

For faith­ful

lov­ing serv­ice

Thy coun­try calls to thee

Till God’s re­deemed Ame­ri­ca

Thy shin­ing crown shall be.
