State Song of New Hampshire - Old New Hampshire

The state song of New Hampshire, The Granite State.
Lyrics in English:
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.
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
Builded He New Hampshire glorious
From the borders to the sea;
And with matchless charm and splendor
Blessed her for eternity.
Here, the majesty of mountain;
Here, the grandeur of the lake;
Here, the truth as from the hillside
Whence her crystal waters break.
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.

New hampshire is the best state!!!!!!!!

[@ross5mk]

I agree with you

[@romo6253]

I remember that when I was in the 2nd grade we would sing this every morning after reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

@@ew921 hey kid, you should probably not post your exact school or the address of the school anywhere online. Nothing will come from it I bet, but on the off chance someone wants to pull a wicked mean prank, that could make your school a target. Maybe think about deleting the school name and address, and maybe not post it again until you finish school? Hope you’re doing good in classes&stay active in any extra school activities you like! Oh, &remember, a Bully is only a bully until they get hit hard enough.

I've lived in nh for over 30 yrs and I can say I don't remember ever hearing this song

I have never been to New Hampshire (or Vermont or Maine), but judging by the photos and videos, New Hampshire must be an extremely beautiful place!

[@jobisbing4250]

You are absolutely correct w the extreme beauty assumption as there is so much from the Atlantic Ocean coastline to the White Mountains. Toss in that it's a short trip to Boston or Maine, and NH has much to offer.

[@UrLocalGeorgie]

As a NH person, i don’t remember singing the song i was so young when i had to move away from N.H. but i know the song is the National state song the background music has to be my favorite part

[@jimlogsdon5308]

I moved here in 1986. It was very vivid to me because I remember the ball that went through Billy Buckner's legs while I was unloading the U-Haul. One of the things I love so much was every morning WMUR which start their day sometime around 5:00 with somebody playing the banjo and some song. I don't think it was this song because it doesn't have the same rhythm

[@Queen-Of-Hearts144]

ABBA Father, please listen to this song! It mentions You, King of kings, so on this day of repentance, Yom Kippur, I ask to forgive Your people and my people, our transgressions against you! Please don't let us be slaughtered by our enemies any longer. Come down oh, Father and avenge us, cause we are as sheep to the slaughter 😢 Your Earth is your footstool, come down our Father, and grant us another year of life.😢amen.🙏

This is so similar to Delaware. I also noticed Iowa and Maryland are similar.

Good of you to give credit to Rick Pickren for his rendition of this song... Oh, wait...

[@eunaekim9216]

New Hampshire: one of the most important primaries in determining presidential candidates Also New Hampshire: has produced only one president, and even he was a dud

[@dlbro2]

I’ve been in New Hampshire in my whole life and I’ve never heard that anthem

[@AsstVillageIdiot]

The itinerant music teacher Miss Morse would make sure every year that we relearned it (mid 1960s, Straw School). She would also always insist that we get the rhythm right on "Dear-old. Granite. State," which the singer here does not.

[@jimlogsdon5308]

Can anyone remember the song that WMUR started their day with every morning around 5:00 a.m.?😊

[@generalceinture3066]

Their anthem is a country song : BASED

As a NH resident, I love it

I've been all over the state, and I don't recognize the town at the beginning. It's definitely larger than Keene, but smaller than Nashua... can someone help me with this?

@@Superstrike_11 I live there, it’s manchester Edit: I might be wrong, our cities look the same

[@Superstrike_11]

@@ColonelOsonzOfficial Nope, it's Nashua. I was close, you can tell by the church with city hall in the background. Our cities are all pretty distinct, I just haven't spent much time in the south. You can absolutely tell Dover from Rochester, or Berlin from Littleton. They all have their own personalities.

New Hampshire has always been a policy-focused state on the local level, but straight ticket voting on the federal level has really hurt our reputation.

"Old New" Lol ok.

[@tylersparkle5870]

What an oxymoron. :)

[@tylersparkle5870]

I came just so I could say that. And yes, I need to stop staying up so late. :)

[@tylersparkle5870]

By definition, an oxymoron is when two words following each other in a conjunction appear to directly contrast each other ("Old New Hampshire", "bittersweet", that Simon and Garfunkel song "The Sounds of Silence", "small crowd"). :)

[@ClariNerd]

Truly sad existence that all you do is criticize the great state of New Hampshire.
