My Country 'Tis of Thee
America (My Country 'Tis of Thee) has the words "of thee I sing" (referencing America) and "to thee we sing" (referencing God). America the Beautiful, a separate song, also has references to God, but not those exact words.
My Country 'Tis of Thee borrowed the tune of God Save The King, known now as God Save the Queen.
The lyrics for "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" were written by Samuel Francis Smith in 1831. The melody of the song was based on the national anthem of the United Kingdom, "God Save the Queen/King."
Thee refers to "my country". It's another way of saying "my country, this song is about you"
Words that can be made with the letters in 'thee' are the, tee, and he.
I think u r thinking of "My Country Tis of Thee". The words are: 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 mountain side,Let freedom ring!.
The words "I love thee" are in the King James Version of the Bible 4 times. They are in 4 verses.
The Star Spangled Banner. I think... "God Save the Queen/King" has the same melody .
"My Country Tis of Thee" had it's lyrics written after the lyrics for "God Save the King/Queen" It was written to use the melody previously known as the national anthem for the colonies of the continental US. A far more interesting inquisition is why is the national anthem of England/Great Britain based on a song written by King of France's consort about saving the King of France from a boil on his buttocks?
1. My country,' tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing; land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrims' pride, from every mountainside let freedom ring! 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. Our fathers' God, to thee, author of liberty, to thee we sing; long may our land be bright with freedom's holy light; protect us by thy might, great God, our King.
The song that includes the lyrics "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty" is "America (My Country, 'Tis of Thee)." It is a patriotic hymn and is often sung at events like Independence Day celebrations in the United States.
