America, the popular name of the tune to which the words "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" are commonly sung. The national song of England, "God Save the King," is adapted to the same music. We also find it in use in Denmark, Switzerland, Germany and other countries as a national song. Its origin has been ascribed to Lully, to the Scotch, to Purcell, to Dr. Arne, to Henry Carey and to Dr. John Bull. The words ,"My Country, 'Tis of Thee," were written by Rev. Dr. Samuel F. Smith, and first used at a children's celebration in Park Street Church, in Boston, July 4, 1832. (See God Save the King.)
