Texas, our Texas!
All hail the mighty State!
Texas, our Texas!
So wonderful - so great!
Largest and grandest,
Withstanding 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,
Throughout 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 Jacinto
And glorious Alamo.

Chorus

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

Adopted by the State Legislature, May 1929, as the official state song.
