My County ’tis Of Thee – Anthem Lights (originally by Samuel Francis Smith)
By
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!
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
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
My country, ‘ tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing
