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
mountain side |
Let
freedom ring. |
|
My native
country, - thee, |
Land of the
noble free |
Thy
name I love; |
I love thy
- rocks & rills |
Thy woods
and templed hills |
My heart
with rapture thrills |
Like
that above. |
|
No more shall
tyrants here This
verse was removed by Smith |
With haughty
steps appear |
And
soldier bands |
No more shall
tyrants dread |
Above the
patriot dead |
No more our
blood be shed |
By
alien hands. |
|
Let music
swell the breeze |
And ring
from all the trees |
Sweet
freedom's song |
Let all that
breathes partake These
two lines appear |
Let mortal
tongues awake transposed
in one of Smith's copies |
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 |
Our God our
King |
