TEXAS,OUR TEXAS
Texas our Texas! All hail the mighty stateTexas, our Texas! so wonderful, so great!
Boldest and grandest, with-standing every test.
O empire wide and glorious, you stand supremely blest.
Chorus:
God bless you, Texas and keep you brave and strong
That you may grow in power and worth thro'out the ages long.
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 Jacintos and glorious Alamo.
Texas, dear Texas! From tyrant grip now free
Shines forth in splendor your star of destiny.
Mother of heros! We come your children true,
Proclaiming our allegiance,
our faith and love for you ."
Written by William J. Marsh and Mrs. Gladys Yoakum Wright
" Texas, Our Texas " was named the State Song on May 23, 1929
