[Verse 1]
Let Free-dom's star-ry ban-ner wave,
A-bove the loy-al, true and brave!
While floats from ev'-ry hill and plain
A flag with-out a stain.

No ty-rant's hand one stripe shall mar,
Nor dare to soil one sa-cred star;
Co-lum-bia's sons will fight and die
To ke-ep her float-ing high.

[Chorus]
"Thank God, I am an A-mer-i-can!"
Will sound it forth where-e'er I can.
High heav-en holds her des-ti-ny;
This is the land for me!

[Verse 2]
No for-eign foe with cru-el steel,
Shall crush us 'neath op-pres-sion's heel;
On Free-dom's sons you may de-pend
Her hon-or to de-fend.

We'll ban-ish old au-toc-ra-cy,
"Make safe the world for\ De-moc-ra-cy;"
Then ev'-ry na-tion blest shall be,
With gl-o-rious lib-er-ty.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
This land, our fa-thers died to save,
And to their sons, bless'd free-dom gave.
May God, with His Al-migh-ty Hand
Make her to firm-ly stand!

May we by his a-bund-ant Grace,
Give rest to each down-trod-den race;
Then shout a-broad the wel-come strain:
"World pea-ce has come to reign!"

[Chorus]
