My Country 'Tis of Thee
America the Beautiful
My Country Is The World |
My Country 'Tis Of Thee
S.F. Smith English
My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing: Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrim's pride,
From ev'ry mountain side. Let freedom ring.
My native county thee, land of the noble free,
Thy name I love: I love thy rocks and rills,
thy words and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills, like that a-bove.
Let music swell the breeze, and ring from all the trees,
Thy name I love: sweet freedoms song;
Let mortal tongues awake. let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break, The sound pro-long.
Our fathers' God to thee, author of liberty,
To thee we sing:: Long may our land be bright
with freedoms holy light;
protect us by the night, Great God our King.
Down through the years some verse have been added to
this favorite song.
Lord let war's tempest cease
Fold the whole world in peace
Under my wings.
Make all nations one
All hearts beneath the sun.
Till thou shalt reign alone.
Great King of Kings.
(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
God bless our native Land
Firm may she ever stand
Through storm and Night
When the wild tempests rave
Ruler of wind and wave
Thou who art stong to save
Be thou her might.
For her our prayer shall be
Our father's God to thee
On whom we wait.
Be her walls, holiness
Her ruler righteousness
In all her home be peace
God save the peace.
Not for this land alone
But be God's mercies shown
From shore to shore.
And may Thy nation see
That men should brothers be
And form one family
The wide world o'er.
(These were added by
Siefried Mahlmann 1815
William E Hicksom 1836)
America The Beautiful
Katherine Bates Samuel Ward
O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber ways of grain
for purple mountains majesties, above the fruited plain.
America, America. God shed his grace on thee.
and crown thy good with brotherhood.
from sea to shining sea.
O beautiful for pilgrim feet, whose stern impassioned stress
A thorough fare for freedom beat, across the wilderness.
America, America. God mend thine ev'ry flaw.
Confirm thy soul in self control
thy liberty in law.
O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife
Who more than self their county loved and mercy more than life.
America, America may God thy gold refine
till all success be nobleness
and ev'ry gain divine.
O beautiful for patriot dreams that sees beyond the years.
Thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears.
America, America. God shed his grace on thee
and crown thy good with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea.
My Country Is The World
Robert Whitaker 1922 Thesuasus Musicus1749
My country is the world
My flag with stars impearled
Fills all the skies
All the round earth I claim
Peoples of ev'ry name
And all inspiring fame
My heart would prize.
Mine are all lands and seas
All flowers, shrubs and trees
All life's design
My heart with in me thrills
For all uplifted hills
And for all streams and rills
The world is mine.
And all men are my kin
Since ever man has been
Blood of my blood
I glory in the grace
And strength of ev'ry race
And joy in ev'ry trace
Of brotherhood.
(tune of America) (Hymns of the Rural Spirit) |
