Chapter I

Text size

Glory and terror and splendid joy of the Sea!
Thunderous Sentinel-Guard of our flowering Isles of the Free!
Fortress impregnable, built with the mountainous waves
Toppling in fury of laughter sheer over our enemies’ graves!
God!... It is all we can ask for!... that still we ever may be
Saved by the glory and terror and conquering joy of the Sea!
