The Convention will join in singing “America.”
1 he members of the Convention and their guests joined in
singing the following verses:

"M y country ’tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
O f thee I sing
Land where my fathers died
Land of the Pilgrims’ pride
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring.

My native country thee
Land of the noble free
Thy name I love
I love thy rocks and rills
Thy woods and templed hills
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.”
