BACK TO AMERICANISM By Ralph T. Nordlund Back to the God of the Pilgrims, Back to Washington's prayer, Back to the faith of Lincoln That saved him from despair: Such is the n eed of the hour For our dear old U .S .A. , If we would meet the challenge Of this tremendous day! Back to the wisdom of Franklin, Back t o Monroe's good sense, Back to our elder statesmen Who scorned to u se pretense: Such is the n eed of the hour For our dear old U.S.A. God grant u s men of honor Who truly know the way! Back to the pioneer spirit, Back to good, honest toil, Back to a self-reliance No welfare- state can spoil: Su ch is the n eed of the hour For our dear old U .S .A ., If we would save the heritage Of freedom in our day! lT II 1-\ ~ BEEN AID: To atte111pt to J)a}.,. \Vitl1 tl1 pit- ta11ce of ot11· g:oo l ''{Orl<. · a 11(l 111or al r c\£01·111 fo 1-- t ]1e f re gift of ~-- alvatio11 i. to i11 11lt od l1e– li ttle t he e 11or1nol18 • aeri£ice of h1·i. t a11d xl1i bii th v 1 .. y l1l1 - 111a11 J)1·icl e ,v h j i 11 bar. · t l1 ,vay to heave11.
