Rule Britannia (Holbrook)
When Britain first…….at heaven’s command,
Arose……….. from out the azure main,
Arose arose arose…. from out the a-zure 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.

The nations, not…… so blest as thee
Must in……. their turn, to tyrants fall,
Must in their turn…… to tyrants fall,
While thou shalt flourish, shalt flourish great and free:
The dread and en……vy of them all.

Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.

Thee haughty t…yrants ne’er shall tame
All th…eir attempts to bend thee down,
All their…… attempts to b.end thee down,
Will but arouse, arouse they generous flame,
To work their w…oe and thy renown.

Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.

The muses, still with freedom found,
Shall t….o thy happy coast repair,
Shall to thy happy c…oast repair,
Blesed isle with matchless, with matchless beauty crowned,
And manly hearts to guard the fair.

Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.
