Text of: 30681-FA-NonDis-O

Whereas, the 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 thorough 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 60 years,

Be it resolved by the 2000 General Conference of the United Methodist Church that the publishing house is hereby instructed to include the second verse of "America the Beautiful" in the next printing of the United Methodist Hymnal.
