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 freedoms 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 I sing Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light Protect us by thy might, Great God, our King.
