Texas, Our Texas
Click here to listen!Texas, our Texas! All hail the mighty state!
Texas, our Texas! So wonderful, to great!
Boldest and grandest, withstanding every test;
O’ Empire wide and glorious, you stand supremely blest.
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,
Texas, dear Texas! From Tyrant grip now free,
Shines forth in splendor you star of destiny.
Mother of Heroes! We come, your children true,
Proclaiming our allegiance, our faith and love for you.
Refrain:
God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong, that you may grow in power and worth, through out the ages long.
