2. I second that.
Much rather have "God shed his grace on thee" than "bombs bursting in air." And America the Beautiful actually mentions the name of the nation it is about.

But if we are going to stick with the S.S.B., let's at least transpose it down to G Major so people can sing along without cracking their voices.
