The World We Were

We came in masses far and near

    and made a nation strong and dear
To get along was tested much
    at times it seemed to lose God’s touch

Yet here we are from all the world

    under one flag with pride unfurled
So many customs, so many ways
   freedom here for all who stay 

A word to all our people now

    The rich heritage gets gray, somehow
To learn the nations of this Earth
    will lift us, touch us, give us mirth
