■Land of Hope and Glory(希望と栄光の国)
[戴冠式頌歌(Coronation Ode)終曲(「威風堂々(Pomp and Circumstance)」第1番)]
.1番
Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crowned.
God make thee mightier yet!
On Sov'reign 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.
●2番
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.
.3番
Thy fame is ancient as the day,
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.
