- The Soldiers' Chorus of The United States Army Field Band performs "America: My Country, 'Tis of Thee."
Lyrics: Samuel Francis Smith
Arrangement: R. Edgerton
Conductor: 1st Lt. Alexandra Borza
Lyrics
My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From ev'ry mountainside
Let freedom ring!
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.
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.

Bless you our dear men and women in the army. I am proud to be an American.
@mark cahill Samuel Francis Smith?
Me too! 🇺🇲♥️⭐🇺🇲♥️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🇺🇸🙏🏽🥰🎼
As an American who is Black, honestly, this is all we want...all we ever wanted. We want to sing it and know it includes us. Is this too much to ask?
May the Lord have mercy on us all.
No! That's not too much to ask!
GOD bless you Sir!! As an American who is white and born in the 60s, I always thought it WAS for everyone. I was never taught any different. It includes you and everyone. America is Love for all brothers and sisters. That's from my heart to yours.
Ray Charles meant it when he sang America the beautiful, and Marvin Gaye sure meant it when he sang the anthem. It includes you. It’s up to you to claim it. Encourage your community to stop languishing. Love you
Thank you for your message! The lyrics are for YOU! and every other proud American of every race and creed. God bless you!
It includes you. Sing loud and proud. 🇺🇸
My dad taught me this song while driving to my grandparents in 1952. God Bless the Sweet Land of Liberty.
How I thank God for allowing me to be born in a FREE Country. I can not understand why some of the people that are giving the freedom to live here ,are so ungrateful to the point of betraying the country that has given them freedom to roam. GOD BLESS AMERICA. GOD IS NOT DEAD!
Thank you ALL the military service men and women for protecting the United States of America. LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU. My dad was in the Army, my younger brother in the Marines and my husband in the Air Force.
Except you were not born in a free country.
The country now known as the United States of america was stolen from First Nations, thousands of whom were slaughtered by “white men” who think they knew everything for no other reason than their race and gender.
IM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. GOD BLESS US.
BEFORE DEMOC-RATS YOU ARE HOMOFOBIC RACIST
@@markcahill2214samual Francis smith, but the melody is actually pretty old. Lots of old European nations have used it and the UK still does.
So much history, so much pain, love.
Truly a timeless classic, God Bless American 🇺🇸
The Irony
bro switched teams since posting that comment
Lol
This is one of the most beautiful rendition of this song I have ever heard and I am 68 yrs old. Even better than Elvis's. Thank You so much for bringing and giving the feeling this song is suppose to have may it touch others heart,as it has mine. Ty Lord
You don't normally get this much power and volume out of a 23 person choir. Amazing.
Wow that was beautiful!
I'm so proud to be American!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Me too.
I feel so much patriotism from hearing this and I cry a lot!
It's so good, huh? Thanks for watching!
I've been crying too and I can't stop I keep listening all these songs and it's breaking my heart to see what's going on in our country today. If we don't rise up people and have a revolutionary war we won't have another country. The Democrats are destroying it and it's horrible horrible. If you love this country you will all get together and have a revolutionary war and save it from the Demonic Democrats that are destroying it pray people and repent for God will be on our side I know he wants good the Democratic party want to destroy it just take a look at everything they've been doing. Are we Americans or are we cowards. Protesting does no good it only tells them That We're angry it doesn't mean anything they cheat in every election so how can voting save us because it can't and the Republican party is not doing one thing to get these Democrats out of office it is up to the American people we're the only ones that can save our country if you love this country that is what you will do
@@gerryjones7485 Bro, we're not trying to destroy the country. We're people, and we love our country. We're not demons. Just because you and I disagree doesn't mean we need to stop talking.
YOU are America!
YOU are the Example!
May I live up to your example!!
@mark cahill hush, lest i send thee Victorious...
🇺🇸 Wonderful tribute to this beautiful country! 🇺🇸 Happy Veteran’s Day🇺🇸grateful for all who previously and presently dedicate their lives for our freedom. 🇺🇸✝️
This choir and director, are perfection.🇺🇸
There are different faces but the same voices are beautiful like in heaven.
VERY MOVING. BEAUTIFUL SINGING. AMEN.
So beautiful! I love watching the U.S. Army Field Band videos.
Thanks!

@@richarde.swager1600What does your comment mean?
I finally found the version I did in high school!!! This gave me chills!!!!
God bless the choir!
Absolutely beautiful! What a treasure of stunning voices. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Beautiful! Great voices!❤❤❤
What a sound from such a small choir!
This beautiful song is so calming and build's my faith God Bless America long may she endure🇺🇲
This was written in the 1830s as the song of the emerging Anti-Slavery Movement, that was based in New England, hence the words, "Pilgrims pride". The Union victory with the end of slavery in the Great and horrible Civil War, by far the bloodiest war in the history of the United States, made this a national patriotic song for Americans.
Made this a national patriotic song for which Americans? Northerners or Southerners?
@@geewhiz5926 Whom do you identify with? Because the cultural "war" or zeitgeist, if you will, was won by those who were anti-slavery about 160 years ago (in America). If you are attempting to share sympathy with those misguided Americans who legitimately thought it was their God-given right to own other HUMANS... you aren't going to find many people nowadays who share that sympathy. Maybe in the Saudi world where they still enslave poor Africans, or in other, less prosperous nations where they tolerate criminal slavery. But not in the free West.
He said New England. That should give a hint.
@@geewhiz5926 For everyone except southern whites.
I am a daughter of two mayflower ancestors. I love this song. Bless the hearts of gold star families this memorial day. Bless the memory of Nana's brother, a veteran. Prayers for peace
Beautiful and such a good reminder that liberty is about honesty and to feel safe that no one will attack you or harm you in any way, no matter what. A true celebration to goodness.
FANTASTIC SOUND from a Welshman who sings in 3 Welsh choirs in LONDON
God Bless our Men and Women on both sides that are fighting, Bless their families and Army Units, Jesus our Heavenly Father, SEND THEM HOME!!! God Bless the EAGLE!!! And Bless their freedom as well.
I listened to this while studying and my GPA went up a lot.
It does raise one’s blood pressure for the good.
I'm doing same.
May God bless you talented soldiers! Thank You for service.
This is beautiful! I'm 16 and i sing alto in multiple chamber choruses but due to COVID-19 I have not been able to sing in a group for five months... thank you for this video. God bless
This song always brings tears to my eyes and this is one of the most beautiful renditions of it that I've ever heard.
Yes. But it was a twist on "God Save the King" (or "Queen"). A nice little slap to our British cousins, lol.
From Italy: chorus, conductor, superb. Thanks for your beautiful art.
We should all take more pride in what our ancestors have done for us!
Thank You!
This is the best chorus or choir perform this song!
Thanks!
Thank you this is so beautiful. Their voices and uniform and tidy hair. This is a favorite song of my life.
Perfect. Thank you all for such great service to our nation. Bands are a national treasure to be preserved
Who is that beautiful, absolutely perfectionist soprano singing . I live in Australia, but i am coming back to the states again next year, and would really like to see and hear her sing.

I loved singing the patriotic songs in elementary school them playing alto then tenor sax in marching/concert bands. These were my favs, I'd get goosebumps performing. Well Done 🇺🇸
Yes! In the public schools, third grade, we sang this song! We saluted our Stars and Stripes! We heard the patriotic songs in our Assemblies! COMMIES:. see our Flag? Stripes: Isaiah 53:5. Red, white and blue. This means that you will NOT see the Blue of Heaven without being washed White in The Red Blood of The LORD JESUS CHRIST. AMEN!
Who could down vote this? Incredible, moving, emotional, and profound! Keep up the great work.
Liberals, that’s who. They find “problems “ in everything.
1st Lt. Alexandra Bozar is a great Conductor!!
The arrangement was as spectacular as the voices.
Bravo.
Im speechless.
absolutely wonderful!
Thank you!
What beautiful Performance! I listened to this Record yesterday and couldn´t get it out of my head the whole day.

The line about "From every mountain side, let Freedom Ring" was a plea for the end of slavery.

Amazing that it
Que maravilha!❤

God bless.
This is just beautiful, how could anything be so perfect? The United States, and the United Kingdom, have been the trailblazers
Gives me chills
God bless this god damn country!!!!
No, The LORD will damn you, until you get Saved: Luke 13:3,5; John 5:24.
I woke up this morning and this was playing in my heart over and over. I have not heard this song in ages. And I thought this was rather odd - because usually it is a song about Jesus Christ. This song brought a tear to my eye.
I am a son of the American Revolution. Direct descendant of Absolom and Clemmons Hooper. The main characters from the Books, Last of the Mohicans and The Deer Hunter by James Fenmore Cooper. Who fought in the French and Indian and American Revolution wars.
And as a USA Army Active Duty Combat Veteran - who volunteered just after 9/11 to go to war - myself. Patriot blood cannot possibly run deeper in my veins than any other American. Deal with it. And it is heart wrenching to see the state of which my country's life is clinging to. The spirit of slavery never left - it transitioned into financial through greed and debt. And it's companion, Division, such as from the Civil War, well - that is obvious in present day. Where I had relatives fight on both sides of that War.
I grew up not knowing I was even "white" and not even knowing I needed to look at someone differently because they had different colored skin, or think differently, or look differently, or believe differently. I even heard a fellow patriot whom the world calls "black" say the very same thing. And a tear came to my eye, because I thought I was the only one living Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream.
In heaven, will such definitions exist? In as much as we look at a garden full of different colored flowers - will that same spirit of definition and division exist.
We are all beautiful. We are all humans. We are all one. Do what is right. Accept you might be wrong. Listen more than you speak. And respect your elders. Respect your parents. But come to see the world for what it is. Come to see your parents for who they aren't. Love God with all your heart, all your soul, with all your mind, and all your strength. And it will be well with you for all of your days.
Peace through Jesus Christ~
