England, one soul of steel, one heart of oak, One voice of silver, sound thy trumpet-blast Pass round the watchword through the battle-smoke; England, stand fast!

So let it be! In God we trust. In war and earthquake, wreck and wrong, Still let the flag of freedom fly In peace and safety, still be strong! For we will live as we would die. Ashes to ashes? Dust to dust? So let it be! In God we trust.
