English Anthem!

Words to the "Anthems" are below, go on sing along you know you want to!

THERE'LL ALWAYS BE AN ENGLAND

I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen.

I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen.

May this fair dear land we love so well

In dignity and freedom dwell.

Though worlds may change and go awry

While there is still one voice to cry

There'll always be an England,

While there's a country lane,

Wherever there's a cottage small

Beside a field of grain.

There'll always be an England,

While there's a busy street,

Wherever there's a turning wheel

A million marching feet.

Red, white and blue,

What does it mean to you?

Surely you're proud

Shout it aloud.

Britons awake!

The Empire too,

We can depend on you,

Freedom remains

These are the chains

Nothing can break.

There'll always be an England,

And England shall be free,

If England means as much to you

As England means to me.

    Abide with me

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;

The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.

When other helpers fail and comforts flee,

Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;

Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away;

Change and decay in all around I see;

O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word;

But as Thou dwell’st with Thy disciples, Lord,

Familiar, condescending, patient, free.

Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,

But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings,

Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea—

Come, Friend of sinners, and thus bide with me.

Thou on my head in early youth didst smile;

And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,

Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee,

On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.

I need Thy presence every passing hour.

What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?

Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?

Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;

Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.

Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?

I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;

Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.

Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;

In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

  England Anthem

England England land of mine

we've defended her through time

justice freedom loyalty

our childrens future lies with thee.

Chorus:

England England proud and strong

it's our home where we belong

England England fills your heart with pride

god protects our England no-one can divide.

Child of England help us grow

life and honour we'll bestow

joined together hand in hand

for Englands green and pleasant land

  I vow to thee My Country

I vow to thee, my country—all earthly things above—

Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;

The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,

That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;

The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,

The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

And there’s another country, I’ve heard of long ago—

Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;

We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;

Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;

And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,

And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.

Jerusalem

And did those feet in ancient time

Walk upon englands mountains green?

And was the holy lamb of god

On englands pleasant pastures seen?

And did the countenance divine

Shine forth upon our clouded hills?

And was jerusalem builded here

Among those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!

Bring me my arrows of desire!

Bring me my spear: o clouds unfold!

Bring me my chariots of fire!

I will not cease from metal fight;

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand

Till we have built jerusalem

In englands green and pleasant land.

Swing Low

Swing low, sweet chariot

Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot

Coming for to carry he home x 2

I looked over Jordan, what do I see

Coming for to carry me home

A band of angels coming after me

Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot

Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot

Coming for to carry me home

If you get big before i do

Coming for to carry me home

Tell all my friends I'm coming too

Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot

Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot

Coming for to carry me home

The white cliffs of Dover

There'll be bluebirds over

The white cliffs of Dover,

Tomorrow, just you wait and see.

I'll never forget the people I met

braving those angry sky's

I remember well as the shadows fell

the light of hope in thier eyes

and though I'm far away I still can hear them say

Sun's up

for when the dawn comes up

There'll be bluebirds over

The white cliffs of Dover,

Tomorrow, just you wait and see.

There'll be love and laughter

And peace ever after.

Tomorrow, when the world is free

The shepherd will tend his sheep.

The valley will bloom again.

And Jimmy will go to sleep

In his own little room again.

There'll be bluebirds over

The white cliffs of Dover,

Tomorrow, just you wait and see.

Land of Hope and Glory

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.

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.
