Joy to thy hearth and board and bower | G |
Long honours to thy line | H |
And hearts of proof and hands of power | G |
And bright names worthy thine | H |
By the merry step of childhood still | I |
May thy free sward be prest | B |
While one proud pulse in the land can thrill | I |
A blessing on thee rest | B |
