Hail Minnesota lyrics

Minnesota, hail to thee!

Hail to thee, our state so dear,

Thy light shall ever be

A beacon bright and clear.

Thy son 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 the woods and waters fair;

From the prairies waving far,

At thy call they throng with their shout and song;

Hailing thee their Northern Star.
