land of hope and glory - vera lynn lyrics
[vera lynn]
land of hope and glory,
mother of the free,
how shall we extol thee,
who are born of thee ?
wider still and wider
shall thy bounds be set;
god, who made thee mighty,
make thee mightier yet
god, who made thee mighty,
make thee mightier yet.
[choir]
land of hope and glory,
mother of the free,
how shall we extol thee,
who are born of thee ?
[vera lynn + choir]
wider still and wider
shall thy bounds be set;
god, who made thee mighty,
make thee mightier yet
god, who made thee mighty,
make thee mightier yet.

full poem :
dear land of hope, thy hope is crowned.
god make thee mightier yet !
on sov’reign brows, beloved, renowned,
once more thy crown is set.
thine equal laws, by freedom gained,
have ruled thee well and long;
by freedom gained, by truth maintained,
thine empire shall be strong.
land of hope and glory,
mother of the free,
how shall we extol thee,
who are born of thee ?
wider still and wider
shall thy bounds be set;
god, who made thee mighty,
make thee mightier yet
god, who made thee mighty,
make thee mightier yet.
thy fame is ancient as the days,
as ocean large and wide
a pride that dares, and heeds not praise,
a stern and silent pride
not that false joy that dreams content
with what our sires have won;
the blood a hero sire hath spent
still nerves a hero son.
