Land Of Hope And Glory
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.

Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;”

I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
