When Britain first, at Heaven's command Arose from out the azure main
Arose, arose from out the azure main
This was the charter, the charter of the Land and Guardian Angels sang this strain
Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves!
Britons never, ever, ever shall be slaves
Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves!
Britons never, ever, ever shall be slaves
The nations, not so blest as thee
Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall
Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall
While thou shalt flourish great and free
The dread and envy of them all
Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves!
Britons never, ever, ever shall be slaves
Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves!
Britons never, ever, ever shall be slaves
Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves!
Britons never, ever, ever shall be slaves
Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves!
Britons never, ever, ever shall be slaves
The Power and the Glory
Waken restore me forsaken before the power and the Glory be ours from this day forth
Will we walk in the light
Open the flood gates afloat on the surface carried to a place of knowledge
History called to account
By humanity
The Power and the Glory
