ILLINOIS

By thy rivers gently flowing, Illinois, Illinois, O'er thy prairies verdant growing, Illinois, Illinois, Comes an echo on the breeze, Bustling thro' the leafy trees, And its mellow tones are these, Illinois, Illinois. Not without thy wondrous story, Illinois, Illinois, Can be writ the nation's glory, Illinois, Illinois, On the record of thy years Abra'm Lincoln's name appears, Grant and Logan and our tears, Illinois, Illinois.

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 ev'ry mountain side Let freedom ring. My native country, thee, V v 7 7 Land of the noble free, Thy name I love; I love thy rocks and rills, v 7 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, v 7 To thee we sing; Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light; Protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King.
