HAPPY BRITAIN. |
 | Mirth and Metre |  |
HAPPY BRITAIN.
Britain, happy, happy land!Seagirt seat of freedom pure;
Whose floating towers the sea command,
From invasion rude secure!
Pride, with insolent parade,
Hostile force may be preparing,
But he who dares thy shores invade
Dies the victim of his daring!
For Britain, daughter of the sea,
Ever was, and will be free!
