The Hastings Citizens Band Presents

An Afternoon Tea At The Proms

RULE BRITANNIA

1.   (SOLOIST ONLY)
When Britain first, at Heaven’s command,
Arose from out the azure main, (twice)
This was the charter of the land,
And guardian angels sang this strain

CHORUS (ALL)
RULE BRITANNIA! BRITANNIA RULE THE WAVES;
BRITONS NEVER, NEVER, NEVER SHALL BE SLAVES

2.   (SOLOIST ONLY)
The nations, not so blest as thee,
must in their turns to tyrants fall; (twice)
while thou shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and envy of them all.

CHORUS (ALL)

JERUSALEM

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the Holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of Fire!
I will not cease from mental fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land

LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY

Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet.

GOD DEFEND NEW ZEALAND

God of Nations at Thy Feet
In The Bonds of Love We Meet
Hear Our Voices We Entreat
God Defend Our Free Land

Guard Pacific Triple Star
From The Shafts of Strife and War
Make Her Praises Heard Afar
God Defend New Zealand
