~Sweet Land of Liberty~


 My country, 'tis of Thee,
Sweet land of liberty
Of thee I sing;


Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,


 

From every mountainside
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 we sing;


 Long may our land be bright
With Freedom's holy light;


Protect us by thy might
Great God, our King.
