'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.'

 

Words by A C Benson (1902), music by Sir Edward Elgar.

Sometimes used as England's national anthem, as opposed to 'God Save the Queen', which is Britain's national anthem.
