AMERICA (My Country 'tis of Thee) My county 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing Land where by fathers died! Land of the pilgrims' pride! From every mountainside Let freedom ring! 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 |
AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain For purple mountain majesty 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 impassiond stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self control Thy liberty in law |

BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord, He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored, He has loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword, His truth is marching on Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on |
GOD BLESS AMERICA God bless America, Land that I love, Stand beside her and guide her Through the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans white with foam God bless America, My home sweet home. |

GOD BLESS THE USA If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life, And I had to start again with just my children and my wife, I'd thank my lucky stars to be living here today, 'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away. I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free, And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me, And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today, 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God Bless the U.S.A. From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee, Across the plains of Texas from sea to shining sea. From Detroit down to Houston and New York to L.A., There's pride in every American heart and it's time we stand and say: I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free, And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me, And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today, 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God Bless the U.S.A. I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free, And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me, And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today, 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God Bless the U.S.A.

YANKEE DOODLE
Yankee Doodle went to town A-riding on a pony Stuck a feather in his hat And called it macaroni. Yankee Doodle, keep it up Yankee Doodle dandy Mind the music and the step And with the girls be handy. Father and I went down to camp Along with Captain Gooding And there we saw the men and boys As thick as hasty pudding. Yankee Doodle, keep it up Yankee Doodle dandy Mind the music and the step And with the girls be handy There was Captain Washington Upon a slapping stallion A-giving orders to his men I guess there was a million. Yankee Doodle, keep it up Yankee Doodle dandy Mind the music and the step And with the girls be handy. |

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? |
YOU'RE A GRAND OLD FLAG You're a grand old flag, You're a high flying flag, And forever in peace may you wave, You're the emblem of the 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, But should old acquaintance be forgot, Keep your eye on the grand old flag! |
