Wartburg Hymnal ‎#373

373. 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 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 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!
