"Tis of thee" means "it is of you"
America
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.
aretha fanklin sang the song " my country tis of thee"
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?
The lyrics of "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" celebrate the beauty and freedom of the United States. The song references patriotic themes such as liberty, unity, and the American spirit. It serves as a tribute to the country and its ideals.
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.

My Country 'Tis of Thee
My Country 'Tis of Thee borrowed the tune of God Save The King, known now as God Save the Queen.
"America (My Country, 'Tis of Thee)" was written in 1831 by Samuel Francis Smith. The song's melody is the same as the British national anthem, "God Save the Queen."
