Land Of Hope And Glory 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.
