All hail the mighty State!\nTexas, our Texas! So wonderful so great!\nBoldest and grandest, Withstanding ev'ry test;\nO Empire wide and glorious, You stand supremely blest.\nRefrain:\nGod bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,\nThat you may grow in power and worth,\nThro'out the ages long.\nTexas, O Texas! Your freeborn single star,\nSends out its radiance to nations near and far.\nEmblem of freedom! It sets our hearts aglow,\nWith thoughts of San Jacinto and glorious Alamo.\nRefrain\nTexas, dear Texas! From tyrant grip now free,\nShines forth in splendor your star of destiny!\nMother of heroes! We come your children true,\nProclaiming our allegiance, our faith, our love for you.\nRefrain\nAdded by Acts 2001, 77th Leg., ch. 1420, Sec. 7.001, eff.
