Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star/ABC Song
Piano accompaniment
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
America (My Country, ’Tis of Thee)
Piano accompaniment
My country,’tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the pilgrims’ pride!
From every mountainside,
Let freedom ring!
America the Beautiful
Piano accompaniment
O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
