  Texas, Our Texas
  Written by William J. Marsh and Gladys Yoakum Wright
  Composed by William J. Marsh
  Texas, Our Texas! all hail the mighty State!
  Texas, Our Texas! so wonderful so great!
  Boldest and grandest, withstanding ev'ry test
  O Empire wide and glorious, you stand supremely blest.
  Texas, O Texas! your freeborn single star,
  Sends out its radiance to nations near and far,
  Emblem of Freedom! it set our hearts aglow,
  With thoughts of San Jacinto and glorious Alamo.
  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.
  God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
  That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.
  God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
  That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.
