Now, everyone stand....
I am all for the texas songs, but I feel that we should stop for a moment and pay due honor. I dont think the song is performed NEARLY enough.
Genlemen, remove your caps and place them over your chest, held in your right hand, facing the flag.
Ladies and gentlemen place your right hand over your left breast, facing the flag.
Non-residents will also stand, but not place their hands over their hearts, facing the flag.
"Texas, Our Texas"
William J. Marsh and Gladys Yoakum Wright:
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.
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 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.
God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.
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.
