A Song for Great Britain | B |
- | |
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 |
