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.
