America (written by Samuel Francis Smith) 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 every mountain
side,Let freedom ring!My native country,
thee,Land of the noble free,Thy name I love.I
love thy rocks and rills,Thy woods and templed
hillsMy heart with rapture fillsLike that
above. Let music swell the breeze,And ring from
all the treesSweet freedom's song.Let mortal
tongues awakeLet all that breathe partakeLet
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
brightWith freedom's holy lightProtect us by
Thy might,Great God, our King!

America the Beautiful O beautiful for spacious
skies,For amber waves of grain,For purple
mountain majestiesAbove the fruited
plain!America! America!God shed His grace on
thee,And crown thy good with brotherhoodFrom
sea to shining sea! O beautiful for pilgrim
feetWhose stern impassion'd stressA
thoroughfare for freedom beatAcross the
wilderness.America! America!God mend thine
ev'ry flaw,Confirm thy soul in self-control,Thy
liberty in law.O beautiful for heroes prov'dIn
liberating strife,Who more than self their
country loved,And mercy more than
life.America! America!May God thy gold
refineTill all success be nobleness,And ev'ry
gain divine.O beautiful for patriot dreamThat
sees beyond the yearsThine alabaster cities
gleamUndimmed by human tears.America!
America!God shed His grace on thee,And crown
thy good with brotherhoodFrom sea to shining sea.

Grand Old Flag Music and lyrics by George M.
Cohan Simple Version
You're a grand old flag,You're a high flying
flagAnd forever in peace may you wave.You're
the emblem ofThe land I love.The home of the
free and the brave.Ev'ry heart beats
true'neath the Red, White and Blue,Where
there's never a boast or brag.Should auld
acquaintance be forgot,Keep your eye on the
grand old flag.

Star-Spangled Banner (National Anthem) (composed
by Francis Scott Key
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last
gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we
watch'd, were so gallantly streaming? And the
rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was
still there. O say, does that star-spangled
banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and
the home of the brave?On the shore dimly seen
thro' the mists of the deep, Where the foe's
haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is
that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half
discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the
morning's first beam, In full glory reflected,
now shines on the stream 'T is the
star-spangled banner O, long may it wave O'er
the land of the free and the home of the brave!
