The Singing Of America

America is written by Samuel F. Smith, 1832, and the music is from the In Thesaurus Musicus, 1740.

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!

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 father's 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!
