WORDS: SAMUEL F. SMITH, 1831
TUNE: AMERICA, ANONYMOUS.
(FIRST VERSE)
My country, ’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing: Land where my father’s died, land of the pilgrims’ pride, from every mountain side let freedom ring!
(SECOND VERSE)
My native country, thee, land of the noble free, thy name I love: I love thy rocks and rills, thy woods and templed hills; my heart with rapture thrills like that above.
(THIRD VERSE)
Let music swell the breeze, and ring from all the trees sweet freedom’s song: let mortal tongues awake; let all that breathe partake; let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.
(FOURTH VERSE)
Our fathers’ God, to thee, Author of liberty, to thee we sing: long may our land be bright with freedom’s holy light; protect us by thy might, great God, our king!
