Introduction/Chorus:
EnglGand may keep the faith
For what's been done and said

We know their dreams enough to know

TGoo long, too long a sacrifice

But when will it suffice?
ThGat is Heaven's part, our part
To name the name upon the name                  After verse repeat Chorus twice then go back to Verse
Like a Gmother names her babe                            then back to Chorus once then go to end

On lGimbs that have run wild
What is it but nightfall
OC7h no, not night but a death
And needless death after all

England may keep the faith

For what's been done and said

Repeat twice then go to Verse

We know their dreams enough to know

They dreamed and they are dead

Too long, too long a sacrifice

Can make a cold stone of the heart

But when will it suffice?

That is Heaven's part, our part

To name the name upon the name After verse repeat Chorus twice then go back to Verse

Like a mother names her babe then back to Chorus once then go to end

When rest at last has come

On limbs that have run wild

What is it but nightfall

Oh no, not night but a death

And needless death after all

Ending:

England may keep the faith

Repeat ending until end

England may keep the faith
