AMERICA THE BEAU TIFUL

0 beautiful, for spacious skies,

For amber waves of grain,

For purple mountain majesties,

Above the fruited plain!

America! America!

God shed his grace on thee,

And crown thy good, with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea

0 beautiful, the patriots' dream

That sees beyond the years

Where alabaster cities gleam

Untouched by human tears!

America! America!

God shed his grace on thee,

And crown thy good, with brotherhood From sea to shining sea

Reverend Charles L Currie, S.J., Ph.D., President

H Y MN TO JOY

Joyful, joyful V·/C adore thee,

God of glory, Lord of love;

Hearts unfold like tlowcrs before thee,

Opening to the sun above

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;

Drive the dark of doubt away:

Giver of immortal gladness,

Fill us with the light of day!

Mortals join the mighty chorus,

\Vhich the morning stars began;

Father love is reigning o'er us

Brother love binds man to man

Ever singing march we onward

Victors in the midsl of strife:

Joyful music leads us sunv.,ard

In the triumph song of litC
