'America The Beautiful' A Cappella From Anthem Lights - Staff Picks

The men of Anthem Lights perform an a cappella rendition of the patriotic song ‘America The Beautiful.’

Samuel Ward originally composed this beloved classic in 1883. A few years later, Katharine Lee Bates added the lyrics that we know and love today.

Today, the four men of Anthem Lights are lending their voices to this iconic song. Anthem Lights is one of the most recognized names in modern day Christian music.

They became a social media sensation with covers of popular hymns and over 140 million video views online. Now, they continue to delight fans with each and every performance. Just listen as they belt out the words to ‘America The Beautiful.

‘O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!’

As the men stand in a semi-circle, they sing these lyrics completely a cappella. Every single sound is made from their voices.

No musical instruments are used in these types of performances. Not only does it take time and skill to perfect these arrangements, but each singer must also possess a flawless voice.

Anthem Lights always pulls off these a cappella performances perfectly. These men truly use their God-given talent to give praise to His name and it is such a blessing to hear. I always enjoy these musical arrangements and I am looking forward to hearing what this group does next.
