English poem
Tune, The Vicar of Bray
by Charles Morris (1744–1838)
When liberty, serenely bright, Her beams resplendent darted, O’er this fam’d land, the sacred light, Its genial power imparted; Then thickest clouds, that veil’d her rays, By liberty were driven, And Britons saw, in William blaze, The patriot flame from heav’n.
