When Britain first at Heav'n's command Arose from out the azure main; Arose, arose from out the azure main; This was the charter, the charter of the land, And guardian angels sang this strain:
Rule Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves! Britons never, never, never shall be slaves! Rule Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves! Britons never, never, never shall be slaves!
