New Hampshire State Flag and State Song

[BoyUSMC]

The Song is "Old New Hampshire" so yes, a very old and long dead person wrote it. Just like the "Star Spangled Banner". I beiieve it was written in 1906 by a New Hampshire Doctor. They lyrics can be found online, I caution liberals some of they lyrics are controversial, such as "God in his great wisdom, made the rugged Granite State" Wow, sexist and montotheistic huh? I like it's quiantness. New Hampshire Natrually is also "the unoffical" State song, another sleeper, but NH's not NYC.

Wish they would put the words on here.

[Floaffy]

We have the best motto.

the seperation of church and state is violated once again in the awful lyrics of this sleeper...as much as i love this great state with its unique polical working and views, i feel a change is needed to better represent the present day.....and btw, i really miss the OLD MAN

@rawdealist

what violation? there is NOTHING, anywhere, that says that there is a "separation of church and state." there is, however, a clause in the constitution that says that our government CANNOT impose ANY official religion OR prohibiting free exercise thereof.

let me add: NOWHERE, NOWHERE, NOWHERE does any official u.s. document say ANYTHING about the separation of church and state.

@Stabu Anyone but this one. It's a great state and a great motto, but a terrible state song. It sounds quaint and cheesy.

Verse 2: 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 Chorus: 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

[Stabu]

Here are the lyrics: Verse 1: With a skill that knows no measure, From the golden store of Fate God, in His great love and wisdom, Made the rugged Granite State; Made the lakes, the fields, the forests; Made the Rivers and the rills; Made the bubbling, crystal fountains Of New Hampshire's Granite Hills Chorus: 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

I'm a Granite Stater, and I really love living here, but honestly the state song sucks. I'm not musically inclined, but dear god, could someone who is please compose something better?
