| From ClassBrain.com NC State Symbols The Old North StateWords by William GastonMelody Collected and Arranged by Mrs. E. E. Randolph Carolina! Carolina! Heaven's blessings attend her! While we live we will cherish, protect and defend her; Though the scorner may sneer at and witlings defame her, Our hearts swell with gladness whenever we name her. CHORUS: Hurrah! Hurrah! The Old North State forever! Hurrah! Hurrah! The good Old North State! Chorus Though she envies not others their merited glory, Say, whose name stands the foremost in Liberty's story! Though too true to herself e'er to crouch to oppression, Who can yield to just rule more loyal submission? Chorus Then let all who love us, love the land that we live in As happy a region on this side of Heaven, Where Plenty and Freedom, Love and Peace smile before us, Raise aloud, raise together, the heart-thrilling chorus!
