Lyrics

Beautiful Nebraska,

Peaceful prairie land.

Laced with many rivers,

And the hills of sand.

Dark green valleys

Cradled in the earth.

Rain and sunshine

Bring abundant birth.

Beautiful Nebraska,

As you look around,

you will find a rainbow

Reaching to the ground.

All these wonders

By the Master's hand,

Beautiful Nebraska land.

We are so proud of this state where we live.

There is no place that has so much to give.

Beautiful Nebraska,

As you look around,

You will find a rainbow

Reaching to the ground.

All these wonders

By the Master's hand,

Beautiful Nebraska land.
