God Bless America

1938 American patriotic song by Irving Berlin

"God Bless America" is an American patriotic song written by Irving Berlin in 1918 and revised in 1938. The song is structured as a solemn prayer, asking for God's blessing and guidance for the United States. While originally written during World War I, it gained widespread popularity in 1938 when it was introduced as a "peace song" on an Armistice Day radio broadcast, sung by Kate Smith, who subsequently made it her signature song.
