God, in His great love and wisdom, Made the rugged Granite State;

God, in His great love and wisdom, Made the rugged Granite State;

Made the lakes, the fields, the forests; Made the Rivers and the hills;

Made the bubbling, crystal fountains Of New Hampshire's Granite Hills

Refrain:

Old New Hampshire, Old New Hampshire Old New Hampshire Grand and Great

We will sing of Old New Hampshire, Of the dear old Granite State

Builded he New Hampshire glorious From the borders to the sea;

And with matchless charm and splendor Blessed her for eternity.

Hers, the majesty of mountain; Hers, the grandeur of the lake;

Hers, the truth as from the hillside Whence her crystal waters break

And with matchless charm and splendor Blessed her for eternity.

Hers, the majesty of mountain; Hers, the grandeur of the lake;

Hers, the truth as from the hillside Whence her crystal waters break

Refrain:

One of the oldest landmarks in the USA can be found in my state of New Hampshire. The man-made caves and tunnels were used to hide and keep safe from enemies. Please look at my 3-D project for more information.
