“The Ode”

(Melody – Men of Harlech)

Hail our Chief! Hail our Chief! Hail our Chief!
Hail, hail our Chief!
Hail, hail our Chief!

Hail to the Chief of all the Orphans,
To thy high state now we welcome,
May thy reign be ever fertile
With prosperity.
Orphans who have gone before us,
Orphans all with voice sonorous,
All unite and join the chorus,
Greetings to our chief.

You we treat with homage,
Bow we down before thee.
Thee we’ll crown
With glad renown,
Like he who was before thee,
Now we’ll make the whole world wonder
None shall tramp thy glory under,
While we sing in voice of thunder,
Hail our mighty chief.
