I don't know the hymn, even though we used Songs of Praise at school. However, these look like the words you are after: WHAT HEROES THOU HAST BRED What heroes thou hast bred, O England, my country! I see the mighty dead Pass in line, Each with undaunted heart Playing his gallant part, Making thee what thou art, Mother of mine! Then let me take my place O England, my country! Amid the gallant race That is thine, Ready to hear thy call, Ready to give thee all, Ready, whate'er befall, Mother of mine!
