May we find, as ages run,

The mother featured in the son;

And may yours forever be

That old strength and constancy

Which has made your fathers great

In our ancient island state;

And wherever her flag fly,

Glorying between sea and sky,

Makes the might of Britain known,

Britons, hold your own!
