Beautiful Nebraska
Beautiful Nebraska, peaceful prairie landLaced with many rivers and hills of sandDark 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. Words by Jim Fras and Guy G. Miller
