529 - My Country, ‘Tis of Thee

My country, ’tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing: Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrims’ pride, From ev’ry mountain side Let freedom ring!

2.

My native country, thee, Land of the noble free Thy name I love: I love thy rocks and hills, Thy woods and templed hills; My heart with rapture thrills Like that above.

3.

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.

4.

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!
