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 fair,
At thy call they throng,
With their shout and song,
Hailing thee their Northern Star.
