My Country, 'Tis of Thee |
| 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 mountain side |
| Let freedom ring |
| 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 |
| 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 today |
| 'Neath education’s sway |
| Soars upward still |
| It’s 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 |
