____________________

My country, ’t is of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
    Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims’ pride,        
From every mountain-side
    Let freedom ring.

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.

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.

Our fathers’ God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
    To Thee I sing;
Long may our land be bright        
With freedom’s holy light;
Protect us by thy might,
    Great God our King.
