                              "PENNSYLVANIA"
     Verse 1
            Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania,
                Mighty is your name,
            Steeped in glory and tradition,
                Object of acclaim.
            Where brave men fought the foe of freedom,
                Tyranny decried,
            'Til the bell of independence
                filled the countryside.
     Chorus
            Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania,
                May your future be,
            filled with honor everlasting
                as your history.
     Verse 2
            Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania,
                Blessed by God's own hand,
            Birthplace of a mighty nation,
                Keystone of the land.
            Where first our country's flag unfolded,
                Freedom to proclaim,
            May the voices of tomorrow
                glorify your name.
     Chorus
            Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania,
                May your future be,
            filled with honor everlasting
                as your history.
