Lyrics

:"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."

:"Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania,":"May your future be,":"filled with honor everlasting":"as your history."

:"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."

:"Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania,":"May your future be,":"filled with honor everlasting":"as your history."
