God Bless America Star Ornament

In the fall of 1938, as fascism and war threatened Europe, Irving Berlin decided to write a peace song. He recalled an unpublished version of a song that he had set aside in a trunk, took it out and shaped it into a second national anthem, "God Bless America." The song takes the form of a prayer (with introductory lyrics noting that "as we raise our voices, in a solemn prayer") for God's blessing and peace for the nation. The lyrics go “God bless America, land that I love. Stand beside her and guide her, through the night with the light from above. From the mountains to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam. God bless America, my home sweet home.” How appropriate to hang this new beautifully handcrafted ornament on your tree this year. It is made in the USA from solid brass, 24kt Gold finish, with digitally printed color. Packaged in an elegant window showcase box. Made in the USA!
