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 mountainsideLet freedom ring.
My native country, Thee,Land of the noble free,Thy name I love:I love thy rocks and rills,Thy woods and templed hills;My heart with rapture thrills,Like that above.

POSTLUDE The Avon Brass Ensemble
Strike the drumhead, fly the banner!Youth leaps forward like a wave,Sweeping all that’s bad before it,Build the future for the brave.Thwart the foolish, Guard the prudent,Strike out boldly for the right:Keep this land the home of freedomWhere all men may take delight.
Make our school and make our nationInto places where, secure,Lawfulness will find a havenAnd where peace will long endure.Now we gather, Men of AvonMen of honor, men of will:Set our hearts upon the mountains,And our destiny fulfill.
