1. |
Texas, our Texas! All hail the mighty
state!
Texas, our Texas! So wonderful, so great!
Boldest and grandest, withstanding ev’ry test,
O empire wide and glorious,
You stand supremely blest. Chorus |
|
| |
2. |
Texas, O Texas! Your free-born single
star
Sends out its radiance to nations near and far;
Emblem of freedom, it sets our hearts aglow
With thoughts of San Jacinto and glorious Alamo. Chorus |
|
| |
3. |
Texas, dear Texas! From
tyrant grip now free
Shines forth in splendor your star of destiny.
Mother of heroes! We come, your children true,
Proclaiming our allegiance, our faith, our love for you. Chorus |
|

Chorus |
God bless you, Texas, and keep you brave and strong
That you may grow in power and worth
throughout the ages long.
God bless you, Texas, and keep you
brave and strong
That you may grow in power and worth
throughout the ages long. |
