| - | |
| O Britain praise thy mighty God | C |
| And make his honors known abroad | D |
| He bid the ocean round thee flow | E |
| Not bars of brass could guard thee so | E |
| - | |
| Thy children are secure and blest | F |
| Thy shores have peace thy cities rest | F |
| He feeds thy sons with finest wheat | G |
| And adds his blessing to their meat | G |
| - | |
| Thy changing seasons he ordains | E |
| Thine early and thy latter rains | E |
| His flakes of snow like wool he sends | E |
| And thus the springing corn defends | E |
| - | |
| With hoary frost he strews the ground | H |
| His hail descends with clatt'ring sound | H |
| Where is the man so vainly bold | I |
| That dares defy his dreadful cold | I |
| - | |
| He bids the southern breezes blow | E |
| The ice dissolves the waters flow | E |
| But he hath nobler works and ways | E |
| To call the Britons to his praise | E |
| - | |
| To all the isle his laws are shown | J |
| His gospel through the nation known | J |
| He hath not thus revealed his word | K |
| To every land praise ye the Lord | L |
