<poem>
''1st Verse:''
    Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crowned,
       God make thee mightier yet!
    On Sov'ran{{efn|The original 'Sov'ran', sometimes (for better understanding) printed 'Sov'reign', meaning 'Sovereign'}} 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.

''Chorus:''
            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!

''2nd Verse:''
    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.

''Chorus''
