Saya mau tau Lirik dari My Country, 'Tis of Thee

My country, 'tis of thee,

Land where my fathers died,

Land of the pilgrims' pride,

Land of the noble free,

I love thy rocks and rills,

Thy woods and templed hills;

My heart with rapture thrills,

Let music swell the breeze,

And ring from all the trees

Let all that breathe partake;

Let rocks their silence break,

Our fathers' God to Thee,

Long may our land be bright,

Protect us by Thy might,

Bait tambahan untuk merayakan 100 tahun pengangkatan George Washington sebagai presiden:

After our toils and fears,

After our blood and tears,

Strong with our hundred years,

Bait-bait tambahan oleh Henry van Dyke:

We love thine inland seas,

Thy groves and giant trees,

Thy mountains wild and steep,--

Thy Golden Gate that stands

Thy North's sweet, crystal air:

Bait-bait Abolitionisme tambahan oleh A. G. Duncan, 1843:

My country, 'tis of thee,

Stronghold of slavery, of thee I sing;

Land where my fathers died,

Where men man’s rights deride,

From every mountainside thy deeds shall ring!

Where all men are born free, if white’s their skin;

I love thy hills and dales,

Thy mounts and pleasant vales;

But hate thy negro sales, as foulest sin.

Let wailing swell the breeze,

And ring from all the trees the black man’s wrong;

Let bond and free partake;

Let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.

Our father’s God! to thee,

Author of Liberty, to thee we sing;

Soon may our land be bright,

Protect us by thy might, Great God, our King.

It comes, the joyful day,

When tyranny’s proud sway, stern as the grave,

Shall to the ground be hurl’d,

Shall wave throughout the world, O’er every slave.

Echo o’er land and sea freedom for all.

Let the glad tidings fly,

“Glory to God on high,” at Slavery’s fall.
