| 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐘𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT1HEXNI9c4> And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon Luthori's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On Luthori's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Yishelem 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 Yishelem In Luthori's green and pleasant land. |
Proposed:
| Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crowned. God make thee mightier yet! On Sov'ran brows, beloved, renowned, Once more thy crown is set. Thine equal laws, by Freedom gained, Have ruled thee well and long; By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained, Thine Empire shall be strong. 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, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet. Thy fame is ancient as the days, As Ocean large and wide: A pride that dares, and heeds not praise, A stern and silent pride: Not that false joy that dreams content With what our sires have won; The blood a hero sire hath spent Still nerves a hero son. |
