God bless the Prince of Wales by Brinley Richards — Lyrics
Among our ancient mountains,
And from our lovely vales,
Oh! let the pray'r reecho,
"God bless the Prince of Wales!"
With heart and voice awaken
Those minstrel strains of yore,
Till Britain's name and glory
Resound from shore to shore.
Among our ancient mountains,
And from our lovely vales,
Oh! let the pray'r reecho,
"God bless the Prince of Wales!"
