The Little Sower for Sabbath Schools ‎#147

147. America

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.
