My country tis of thee

1 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

2 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

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
