England's Hope and England's HeirA
Head and crown of Britain's gloryB
Be thy future half so fairA
As her past is famed in storyB
Then wilt thou be great indeedC
Daring where there's cause to dareA
Greatest in the hour of needC
England's Hope and England's HeirA
-
By her past in acts supremeD
By her present grand endeavourE
By her future which the gleamD
Of our fond hopes brings us everE
We can trust that thou wilt beB
Worthy of a fame so rareA
Worthy of thy destinyB
England's Hope and England's HeirA
-
Be thy spirit fraught with hersF
Queen whom we revere and honourA
Be thine acts love's messengersF
Brightly flashing back upon herA
Be what most her trust would deemD
Help the answer to her prayerA
Realize her holiest dreamD
England's Hope and England's HeirA
-
Welcome Prince the land is wideG
Wider still the love we cherishH
Love that thou shalt find when triedG
Is not born to droop and perishH
-
Welcome to our heart of heartsI
You will find no falsehood thereA
But the zeal that truth impartsI
England's Hope and England's HeirA
-
Welcome to our woodland deepsI
To our inland lakes and riversI
Where the rapid roars and sweepsI
Where the brightest sunlight quiversI
Loyal souls can never failJ
Serfdom crouches in its lairA
But our British hearts are haleJ
England's Hope and England's HeirA
