I remember the hymn. We sang it at both primary and secondary schools in Wembley in the 1940's and '50's. I recall all the words and have constantly been amazed to find that nobody has ever heard it or of it when I mention it all these years later. Perhaps it's because England is the focus instead of UK, Great Britain, Scotland, Ireland or Wales. And that means the flag of St George - for so long now linked to 'racial' undertones, totally without justification.
Maybe the time is right to commission a recording of this excellent, soul-stirring hymn?
