In the Beginning when out of darkness	A
The Earth the Heaven	B
The stars the seasons	C
The mighty mainland	D
And whale ploughed water	E
By God the Maker	E
Were formed and fashioned	F
Then God made England	F
	-
He made it shapely	G
With land locked inlets	H
And gray green nesses	H
With rivers roaming	I
From fair leafed forests	H
Through windless valleys	H
Past plain and pasture	E
To sloping shingle	J
Thus God made England	F
	-
Then like to the long backed bounding billows	H
That foam and follow	K
In rolling ridges	H
Before and after	E
To bluff and headland	F
Hither there tided	F
The loose limbed Briton	B
The lording Roman	B
And strong on his oars the sea borne Saxon	B
And now the Norsemen	L
Who hard with Alfred	F
Wrestle for England	F
	-
But onward and forward	F
In far days fairer	E
I see this England	F
Made one and mighty	F
Mighty and master	E
Of all within it	F
Mighty and master	E
Of men high seated	F
Of free necked labour	M
Lowland and upland	F
And corn and cattle	J
And ploughland peaceful	J
Of happy homesteads	H
That warmly nestle	J
In holt and hollow	K
This is the England	F
In fair days forward	F
I see and sing of	N
	-
Then mighty and master of all within her	E
Of Celt and Briton	B
Angle and Frisian	B
Saxon and Norseman	B
Shall England plough like the whale and walrus	H
The roaring ridges	H
Of foam necked water	E
With long oared warships	H
And keels high beak d	F
And never a foeman	B
Eastward or westward	F
Shall dare to raven	B
Her salt sea inlets	H
Her grim gray nesses	H
But swift at the sight of her rearing cradles	H
Shall scud and scatter	E
Like wild geese fleeing	I
'Twixt wave and welkin	B
Away from the dread of the shrilling weapons	H
Of foam fenced England	F
