Subject: Lyr Add: WHAT HEROES THOU HAST BRED (Menzies/Smith
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!
