LyicsMy country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of Liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where our fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims pride,
From ev'ry mountain side
Let freedom ring.
My native country, thee -
Land of the noble, free -
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rill,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.
Let music swell the breaze,
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 father's 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.
