Author: Samuel F. Smith, 1808-1895 Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #299 (2007) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1 My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrim's pride,
From ev'ry 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. Topics: Creation; Freedom; Heritage; Nation; Peace; Providence; Sacrifice Scripture: Proverbs 14:34 Languages: English Tune Title: AMERICA
