Lyrics-

Land of the Empire Builders, Land of the Golden West; conquered and held by free men, fairest and the best. Onward and upward ever, forward and on, and on; hail to thee, Land of the Heroes, my Oregon.

Land of the rose and sunshine, land of the summer's breeze; laden with health and vigor, fresh from the western seas. Blest by the blood of martyrs, land of the setting sun; hail to thee, Land of Promise, my Oregon.

Lyrics by J.A. Buchanan
Music by Henry B. Murtagh
