When Bri tain first, at heav’en’s com mand,
A rose from out the a zure main, a rose, a rose, a rose from out the a zure main.
This was the char ter, the char ter of the land, and guar dian an gels sung this strain: Rule Bri tan nia!
Bri tan nia rule the waves.
Bri tons nev er, nev er, nev er shall be slaves.

This was the char ter, the char ter of the land, and guar dian an gels sung this strain: Rule Bri tan nia!
Bri tan nia rule the waves.
Bri tons nev er, nev er, nev er shall be slaves.
The shall be slaves.
Rule Bri tan nia!
Bri tan nia rule the waves.
Bri tons nev er, nev er, nev er shall be slaves.
