The King’s Anthem.
Fame let thy trumpet sound,
Tell all the world around,
Great George is King.
Tell Rome, and France, and Spain,
Britannia scorns their chain;
All their vile arts are vain,
Great George is King.
Tell all the world around,
Great George is King.
Tell Rome, and France, and Spain,
Britannia scorns their chain;
All their vile arts are vain,
Great George is King.
He peace and plenty brings,
While Rome’s deluded kings
Waste and destroy:
Then let his people sing,
Long live great George our King,
From whom such blessings spring,
Freedom and joy.
