Six Popular Songs (4)/England, Europe's Glory
ENGLAND, EUROPE'S GLORY.
There is a land amidst the waves, Whose sons are famed in story;Who never were, or will be slaves, Nor shrink from death and glory.Then strike the harp and bid it swell, Admiring worlds adore ye;Shout blessings on the land we dwell, To England, Europe's glory!
Blest land, beyond all lands afar, Encircled by the waters;With lion-hearted sons in war, And beauty's peerless daughters.Go ye, whose discontented hearts Disdain the joys before ye;Go seek a home in foreign parts, Like England, Europe's glory.
