AMERICA (Samuel Francis Smith) 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. 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 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. 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. Alternate title: MY COUNTRY TIS OF THEE American words by Samuel Francis Smith, 1832. The English version is "God Save t he King," words by Harry Carey, 1740, but tune probably 17th Century. @American @patriotic filename[ MYCOUNTI MV  8note Sheet |
