Lyrics
When Britain first, at heaven's command
Arose from out the azure main
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 shall be slaves
Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves!
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves
The nations not so blest 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 shall be slaves
Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves
