Old New Hampshire
Written by: Dr. John F. Holmes
Composed by: Maurice Hoffmann
With a skill that knows no measure,
From the golden store of Fate
God,in His great love and wisdom,
Made the Rivers and the rills;
Made the bubbling, crystal fountains
Of New Hampshire's Granite Hills.
Old New Hampshire, Old New Hampshire
Old New Hampshire Grand and Great
We will sing of Old New Hampshire,
Of the dear old Granite State
Builded He New Hampshire glorious
From the borders to the sea;
And with matchless charm and splendor
Blessed her for eternity
Here, the majesty of mountain;
Here, the grandeur of the lake;
Here, the truth as from the hillside
Whence her crystal waters break.
Old New Hampshire, Old New Hampshire,
Old New Hampshire Grand and Great
We will sing of Old New Hampshire,
Of the dear old Granite State
