My Country 'Tis Of Thee - Billy Preston

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 mountainside,

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 hills;

My heart with rapture thrills,

Like that above.

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 fathers???

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.
