Samuel Francis Smith. 1808- ——

My country, 't is 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.

National Hymn.

Our fathers' God, to thee;

Author of liberty,

To thee I sing;

Long may our land be bright

With freedom's holy light;

Protect us by thy might,

Great God, our King!

National Hymn.
