Lyrics
- Among our ancient mountains
And from our lovely vales
Oh, let the pray’r re-echo
“God bless the Prince of Wales”
With heart and voice awaken
Those minstrel strains of yore
‘Till Britain’s name and glory
Resound from shore to shore
Chorus
Among our ancient mountains
And from our lovely vales
Oh, let the pray’r re-echo
“God bless the Prince of Wales”
- Should hostile bands or danger
E’er threaten our fair Isle
May God’s strong arm protect us
May Heav’n still on us smile
Above the throne of England
May Fortunes star long shine
And round its sacred bulwarks
Olive branches twine
