Whereas, the United Methodist Publishing House
inadvertently omitted from The United Methodist Hymnal that verse from
"America the Beautiful" that reads: "O beautiful for pilgrim feet, whose stern
impassioned stress/A thoroughfare for freedom beat across the
wilderness;/America! America! God mend thy every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self
control, Thy liberty in law"; and
Whereas, this verse has been printed in every Methodist hymnal for at least
sixty years;
Therefore, be it resolved, that the 1996 General Conference of The United
Methodist Church instruct the United Methodist Publishing House to include the
second verse of "America the Beautiful" in the next printing of The United
Methodist Hymnal
