My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweetland of liberty,
of thee i sing,
Land where my fathers died
Land of the pilgrim's pride
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring.

My native country, thee
Lando 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 sweel 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 night
Protect us by thy might
Great God our king.
