henry d Posted September 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Rule, Britannia When Britain first, at heaven's command, Arose from out the azure main, Arose, arose, arose from out the azure main, This was the charter, the charter of the land, And guardian Angels sung this strain: Rule Britannia! Britannia rule the waves. Britons never, never, never shall be slaves. The nations, not so blest as thee, Must in their turn, to tyrants fall, Must in their turn, must in their turn, to tyrants fall, While thou shalt flourish, shalt flourish great and free, The dread and envy of them all. (Chorus) Still more majestic shalt thou rise, More dreadful, from each foreign stroke, More dreadful, more dreadful from each foreign stroke As the loud blast that tears the skies, Serves but to root thy native oak. (Chorus) Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame; All their attempts to bend thee down, All their attempts, all their attempts to bend thee down, Will but arouse thy generous flame, But work their woe and thy renown. (Chorus) To thee belongs the rural reign, Thy cities shall with commerce shine Thy cities shall, thy cities shall with commerce shine All thine shall be the subject main, And every shore it circles thine. (Chorus) Jerusalem And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon england’s mountains green? And was the holy lamb of god On england’s pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was jerusalem builded here Among those dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear: o clouds unfold! Bring me my chariots of fire! I will not cease from mental fight; Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Till we have built jerusalem In england’s green and pleasant land Please sing along!
