My country, 'tis of thee,
F5     D5   Bb5 F5    D5
sweet land of liberty,
G5 F5    C5 F5
of thee I sing
F5
Land where my fathers died,
G5          Bb5        C5
land of the pilgrims' pride
F5    G5    F5        C5
From every mountain side,
Bb5  F5   C5   F5
let freedom ring.

F5  D5 G5  C5
My native country, thee,
F5    D5 Bb5  F5     D5
land of the noble free,
G5  F5    C5 F5
thy name I love
F5
I love thy rocks and rills,
G5            Bb5      C5
thy woods and templed hills
F5  G5         F5       C5
My heart with rapture thrills,
Bb5   F5    C5 F5
like that above.


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.

Our glorious Land to-day,
'Neath Education's sway,
Soars upward still.
Its hills of learning fair,
Whose bounties all may share,
behold them everywhere
On vale and hill!

Thy safeguard, Liberty,
The school shall ever be,
Our Nation's pride!
No tyrant hand shall smite,
While with encircling might
All here are taught the Right
With Truth allied.

Beneath Heaven's gracious will
The stars of progress still
Our course do sway;
In unity sublime
To broader heights we climb,
Triumphant over Time,
God speeds our way!

Grand birthright of our sires,
Our altars and our fires
Keep we still pure!
Our starry flag unfurled,
The hope of all the world,
In peace and light impearled,
God hold secure!
