Description
Joy to Queen Victoria,
Queen and ruler o'er us!
Let the soaring music
Rise in mighty chorus!
Wisdom be her counselor;
Truth her queenly glory!
Thoughts and actions beautiful
Crown her name in story!
Sons of dauntless Britain,
Wait ye well upon her!
Let no fear e'er touch her heart,
Nor a breath her honor!
Queen and ruler o'er us!
Let the soaring music
Rise in mighty chorus!
God save Queen Victoria!
England's young Victoria;
May her motto ever be,
"Pax libertas, Gloria!"
Wisdom be her counselor;
Truth her queenly glory!
Thoughts and actions beautiful
Crown her name in story!
God save Queen Victoria!
England's young Victoria;
May her motto ever be,
"Pax libertas, Gloria!"
Sons of dauntless Britain,
Wait ye well upon her!
Let no fear e'er touch her heart,
Nor a breath her honor!
God defend Victoria!
Our own Queen Victoria;
May her motto ever be,
"Pax libertas, Gloria!"
