O God, whose mighty
works of old
Our fathers to their sons have told,
Be with us still from age to age,
Our children's children's heritage.
Thine are the kingdoms:
at thy feet
All peoples of the earth do meet
In equal lowliness of prayer
To find thine equal pity there.
Thy strength made strong
our father's hands,
A people great on seas and lands,
To win, till earth shall pass away,
Such honour as the earth can pay.
Be with their children:
give us grace
To know, nor fear to hold,
their place,
Nor meanly shrink,
nor boast at ease -
A people great on lands and seas.
Keep thou our boyhood
free and fair
And quick to help
and brave to dare:
From greed and selfishness
and shame
Guard thou, O Lord,
the English name.
Keep thou our girlhood
fair and free
In mirth and love and modesty:
From ugly thought
and deed and word
Guard thou our English homes,
O Lord.
O God, whose mighty works of old
Our fathers to their sons have told,
Be thou our strength from age to age,
Our children's children's heritage.
