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 the eternal Rock The eternal city stands.
