My Country 'Tis of Thee

You know how much I love finding chickens in the Bible! You know--the cock crew when Peter swore he didn't even know Jesus; Jesus compared himself to a mother hen calling her chicks to her; the Psalmist spoke of the safe place under God's wings. Well, would you believe I have found a chicken in our beloved national hymn, My Country Tis of Thee? Can you find it?

My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,
From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
