1. Land of our Hearts, upon whose bounteous breast
Earth’s weary sons from many lands find rest,
Bind us in love, that we may truly be
One blood, one Nation, everlastingly!
2. Land of the North, where battling breezes sweep
O’er Arctic snow and pine-encircled steep,
And thund’rous torrents wrestle in the air,—
Yield us the strength to suffer and to dare!
3. Land of the South, where odorous warmth pervades
Forests of palm and ever verdant glades,
Gold-fruited groves, wide acres crowned with white,—
Shed on our lives thy sweetness and thy light!
4. Land of the East, where erst our fathers trod,
Vowing the soil to Freedom and to God,
More we demand than wealth of mine and mart,—
Grant us high aims, true Wisdom, noble Art!
5. Land of the West the pioneer hath won,
Following the promise, guided by the sun,—
From gleaming grain, from sky-ascending slope,
Point to the future, sanctify our hope!
