In The King's Name, Stand!

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. May 2001.

[Geoffrey] Here's to England's King and Crown,
All the loyal hearted,

echo back the old renown
won in days departed.

Now a thousand years have gone,
left our throne the stronger:

Kings and Queens shall lead us on,
Kings and Queens shall lead us on,
For a thousand longer!

In the King's name, stand!
Is the answer of the ages to our land;

In our father's ancient manner,
bid the Royal British banner,
in the King's name, stand!

[Chorus] In the King's name, stand!
Is the answer of the ages to our land;

In our father's ancient manner,
bid the Royal British banner,
in the King's name, stand!

[Geoffrey] Traitors in our gates would dare
rend our realm asunder;

Foreign foes would gladly share,
half a world in plunder!

Fear them not, but watch them well,
Keep the seas and borders!

Let them hear the sentinel,
let them hear the sentinel,
ever under orders,

In the King's name, stand!
Is the wakeful warder's challenge and command!

Halt and answer,
friend or foe~man,

for we yield our ground to no man.
In the King's name, stand!

[Chorus] In the King's name, stand!
Is the wakeful warder's challenge and command!

Halt and answer,
friend or foe~man,

for we yield our ground to no man.
In the King's name, stand!

[Geoffrey] Then if battle thunders break,
And our fortunes waver;

We will stand for Britain's sake,
round the King we gave her!

Brothers born beyond the seas,
bring their blood for token;

we may fall if Heaven please,
we may fall if Heaven please,
But we fall unbroken,

In the King's name, stand!
Though the nations come upon us
hand to hand,

Keep the Royal Standard flying,
and around it living, dying,
In The King's name, stand!

[Chorus] In the King's name, stand!
Though the nations come upon us
hand to hand,

Keep the Royal Standard flying,
and around it living, dying,
In The King's name, stand!
