| When Britain first at Heaven’s command
|
| Arose from out the azure main
|
| Arose, arose, arose from out the azure main
|
| This was the charter, the charter of the land
|
| And guardian angels sang this strain
|
| Rule, Britannia!
|
| Britannia, rule the waves!
|
| Britons never, never, never will be slaves
|
| Rule, Britannia!
|
| Britannia, rule the waves!
|
| Britons never, never, never will be slaves
|
| The nations not so blessed as thee
|
| Must, in their turn, to tyrants fall
|
| Must, in their turn, to tyrants fall
|
| While thou shalt flourish, shalt flourish great and free
|
| The dread and envy of them all
|
| Rule, Britannia!
|
| Britannia, rule the waves!
|
| Britons never, never, never will be slaves
|
| Rule, Britannia!
|
| Britannia, rule the waves!
|
| Britons never, never, never will be slaves
|
| Rule, Britannia!
|
| Britannia, rule the waves!
|
| Britons never, never, never will be slaves |
