Land of hope and glory
Mother of the free
Rise to your inheritance
To proclaim the king
Wider and still wider
Must his kingdom be
To the God who made you mighty
Let's come and bow our knee

Lion of England, arise
With history on your side
Prepare the way of the Lord
As you have done before

Lion of England, arise
With history on your side
Defender of the Truth
The nations long for you

Land of hope and glory
Mother of the free
Rise to our inheritance
To proclaim the king
Wider and still wider
Must his kingdom be
To the God who made us mighty
Let's come and bow our knee

Lion of England, arise
With history on our side
Prepare the way of the Lord
As we have done before

Lion of England, arise
With history on our side
Defender of the Truth
The nations long for us

Lion of England, arise
The future's in your sight
Gives joy to your sacrifice
Let this be your cry
