The true thy chartered freemen are Of every age and clime. 2 One holy Church, one army strong, One steadfast high intent, One working band, one harvest song, One King omnipotent! 3 How purely hath thy speech come down From man's primeval youth; How grandly hath thine empire grown Of freedom, love, and truth! 4 How gleam thy watch-fires through the night With never-fainting ray! How rise thy towers, serene and bright, To meet the dawning day! 5 In vain the surge's angry shock, In vain, the drifting sands: Unharmed upon th' eternal rock Th' eternal city stands. Amen.
