"O Lord! Thy gifts in store,
 We pray on Congress pour,
 To guide our States.
 May union bless our land,
 While we, with heart and hand,
 Our mutual rights defend;
 God save our States!"

   -- from "God Save the Thirteen States" (anonymous; to the tune of "God Save the King")

'America the Beautiful' should have always been our county's national anthem. It doesn't praise a gaudy bit of tissue, but an aspiration few of us achieve.
 
add an 'r'
 
And isn't "God Save the King" "Our Country 'tis of Thee"? Haven't sung it since I don't remember when. Or said the pledge of allegiance. But I'm a rabid patriot. Funny how that goes.
