Lyrics

• 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.
