Michael: My parser chokes on America the Beautiful, too, but perhaps you protest to much against God shed his grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood. As I hear it, the phrase

1. Calls on God to impart grace to the country and its inhabitants
2. Recognizes that the country has some virtuous inhabitants, and
3. Asks God to grant a spirit of community to the virtuous inhabitants.

It’s not exactly the full Gospel, but it’s hard for me to think of why I shouldn’t pray for these.
