OK, here's a choral version, with verses, from the liner notes of the Windham Hill Voices CD, a collection of choral music. Not the same as you recall, though, Diane. Maybe there are various recitatives that have been used at the beginning.

This Is My Country
Words by Don Raye, Music by Al Jacobs
Copyright, 1940, Shawnee Press, Inc.

What difference if I hail from North or South
Or from the East or West?
My heart is filled with love for all of these
I only know I swell with pride and deep within my breast
I thrill to see Old Glory paint the breeze.

With hand upon my heart I thank the Lord
For this, my native land
For all I know is here within her gates
My soul is rooted deeply in the soil
For these are mine, my own United States.

This is my country, land of my birth
This is my country, grandest on earth
I pledge thee my allegiance, America the bold
For this is my Country, to have and to hold.
