The Land that I Love!

This antique postcard is stamped June 21, 1910…..pretty cool, eah?

Wishing everyone a happy July 4th!

AMERICA

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 mountainside let freedom ring.

My native country, thee, land of the noble free, thy name I love;

I love thy rocks and rill, thy wood 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 father’s God, to thee, author of liberty, to thee we sing;

Long may our land be bright with freedoms holy light,

protect us by thy might, great God, our King.
