We all need to take time to pray for this great country. America we love you

[dontomlinson]

I am not a Mormon or at all religious, but The Mormon Tabernacle Choir should be AMERICA's OFFICIAL CHOIR!!  I thoroughly enjoy all of their music and presentations.  I may not be religious, but religious tunes inspire me...always have since I was a child in church.  I have always loved the melodies, never notice much about the lyrics, but the music is most inspiring to me.  Thank you to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Orchestra and all those connected with them for making such beautiful music!!!

I am Italian and belong to the Church. Despite my deep love for my Country, I cannot deny how much I love this song and what it says and represents. I feel I may sing, along with this beautiful Choir, "God bless America, my home, sweet home".

[ldyoung]

President Reagan was right! This is America's Choir! Thank you choir, orchestra and Director! This is our better Angels calling us to be the best that we can be!

[lougabello]

During these trying times with the covid-19, I found it very comforting to hear this beautiful rendition of "God Bless America". It reminds me that our country, under God, has been through very trying times in the past, and that with belief in our country and God, we WIll make it through this. God bless you all, God bless America!

[bobrivera]

This music makes  me proud to be an American.

[EricCVoice]

I always listen to this "theme of America" and it brings tears to my eyes. I am 62 and have lived through so many good and bad things but all I wish for before I die is that our country somehow stops screaming endlessly at each other and stands united as Americans. so many in this country have forever lost.

[johnnastrom]

There's the type of music that gives you a temporary adrenaline rush. Then there's the type of music that lifts you, makes the non religious believe in God, and brings tears to your eyes. This music definitely falls into the latter group. What a beautiful performance!

[lindstheteacher]

I am very thankful to be an American listening to this!

[Chorus]
God bless America
Land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above
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

[Verse]
While the storm clouds gather far across the sea
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer

[Chorus]
God bless America
Land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above
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

[sydneybond]

"God Bless America, Land that I love." When I taught public school I had this phrase posted in my room.

[Responses]

I'm not even from the US, but I find this so beautiful, proud and moving. God Bless America!

[lindawatkin]

I always tear up when I hear this song.

[ancientappalachian]

God bless Irving Berlin- a poor immigrant Jew, whose music became his testament of his love of America.

[theslowwalker]

God bless America and her patriot children.

[BASavage]

"For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart: yea, the song of the righteous is a a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing  upon their heads".

May this song be answered to all of America.

[lisasargent]

Dear Lord, Thank you for giving us the very talented Irving Berlin.

[Brian-dqjc]

We ask you O'Lord to let this choir and this beautiful country to receive thy blessing❤️🇺🇸

[johnuhr-henry]

America needs as much help as it can get at the present. May it prosper in years to come and get back to the great nation it once was for its people.

[Twister]

I find it very impressive that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the LDS church cares more about sharing beauty and goodness than making money. My proof? They offer their recordings to listen for free all day long, every day. Sure, there's a link to buy their songs and albums if you want but if you don't want to buy them THEY provide them for free for you to enjoy. What other artist/organization does that? I bet there are very, very few.
