My country tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the Pilgrim's 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 fills
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 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!
