Neben der britischen Nationalhymne God Save the Queen ist Land of Hope and Glory die Hymne von England.
Text
- Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crowned.
- God make thee mightier yet!
- On Sov'ran 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.
- Chorus:
- 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. :|
- 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.
