- 1My country, 'tis of thee,
- Sweet land of liberty,
- Of thee I sing:
- Land where my fathers died,
- Land of the pilgrim's pride,
- From ev'ry mountain side
- Let freedom ring!
- 2My 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.
- 3Let 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.
- 4Our 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!
