While raging tempests shake the shore | B |
While lus' thunders round us roar | B |
And sweep impetuous o'er the plain | C |

The Pow'r propitious hears the lay | D |
The blue ey'd daughters of the sea | E |
With sweeter cadence glide along | F |

And double radiance decks the face of day | D |

To court thee to Britannia's arms | G |
Serene the climes and mild the sky | A |
Her region boasts unnumber'd charms | G |
Thy welcome smiles in ev'ry eye | A |
Thy promise Neptune keep record my pray'r | H |
Not give my wishes to the empty air | I |
