Author: Chas. M. Fillmore Hymnal: Hymns for Today #260 (1920) First Line: I love thine ev'ry hill and vale Lyrics: 1 I love thine ev'ry hill and vale,
Native land, my native land;
For thee my love shall never fail,
Native land, my native land.
Though I should sail to distant shore,
Though I should search the wide world o’er,
My heart is thine for evermore,
Native land, my native land.
2 Thy sons may false and treacherous be,
Native land, my native land;
I pledge fidelity to thee,
Native land, my native land.
When foes assail, without, within,
I will not shrink from battle din,
But fight to death thy cause to win,
Native land, my native land.
3 When come prosperity and peace,
Native land, my native land;
My vigilance shall never cease,
Native land, my native land.
But jealous still for thy true weal,
A loyal patriot’s pride I’ll feel,
All civic duties do with zeal,
Native land, my native land. Languages: English Tune Title: TANNENBAUM
