SPECIAL OCCASIONS |
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 sweIl 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.
My country, 'tis of thee, |
