“It is well known that we fight in God’s cause. So, when we meet the English, God will surely arrange matters so that we can grapple and board them, either

by sending some strange freak of weather or, more likely, just be depriving the English of their wits. If we can come

to close quarters Spanish valor and Spanish steel… will make our victory

certain.”

"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. "

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.
