Minnesota, Hail to Thee! Hail to Thee, our state so dear, Thy light shall ever be A beacon bright and clear. Thy sons and daughters true Will proclaim Thee near and far. They shall guard Thy fame and adore Thy name; Thou shalt be their Northern Star! Like the stream that bends to sea, Like the pine that seeks the blue; Minnesota, still for Thee Thy sons are strong and true! From Thy woods and waters fair, From Thy prairies waving far. At Thy call they throng with a shout and song; Hailing Thee their Northern Star!
