New Hampshire, My New Hampshire

by Julius Richelson and Walter P. Smith

New Hampshire designated New Hampshire, My New Hampshire (words by Julius Richelson, music by Walter P. Smith) as an honorary state song in 1963.

Lyrics

From the top of Old New England,
To the shores of Portsmouth Bay,
A land known as the Granite State
With its Lakes & mountains lay.

From lofty mountain splendor
to enchanting vales below,
God's glory is reflected
in the home-land that we know.

New Hampshire, My New Hampshire
You will Always call me home,
for guided by God's shining light,
no stranger walks alone.

New Hampshire, My New Hampshire
so majestic and serene,
May our Native soil we dearly love
forever reign supreme.
