Members of the U.S. Naval Academy's glee clubs have helped lift the spirits of citizens across the country by performing a virtual rendition of 'America the Beautiful' amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The Academy published a clip of the patriotic performance to its Twitter page Thursday, which saw the glee club members singing together via video link from their homes across the country.

The U.S. Naval Academy closed its Maryland campus due to the coronavirus outbreak on March 20, but the glee clubs are still coming together online to practice their performances.

'Though we are spread across the nation far and wide, we are still together!' the Academy wrote beneath the video, which was shared widely across social media.

Many claimed the song help to raise their morale as the COVID-19 crisis continues to wreak havoc across the country.

As of Friday evening, more than 500,000 Americans have tested positive to the virus, and 18,000 have died.

One impressed viewer wrote beneath the video: 'Oh my God! Gave me chills! What a great time to spread this'.

Another remarked: 'Made my day! Made me cry. My heart is filled with pride for the USNA Men’s and Women’s Glee Club.'

Meanwhile, a third user stated that she hoped this year's U.S. Naval Academy's graduating class could come together in the near future to hear the song performed live.

'These young people are incredible. What a beautiful sound. My heart goes out to the senior class, 2020, whose special year really got cut short of all the fun events that occur. I wish there were a way we could some how make it up to them, by doing something special,' she wrote.

The U.S. Naval Academy, which was established in 1845, currently has 4,576 midshipmen enrolled.

Classes are now being held digitally due to the coronavirus threat, with the Academy's superintendent Vice Adm. Sean Buck saying the situation is changing too rapidly to set a date for the re-opening of the physical campus.
