I need Thy presence every passing hour;

What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s pow’r?

Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?

Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;

Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;

Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?

I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;

Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies;

Heav’n’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;

In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

For these and all Thy mercies given,

We bless and praise Thy Name, O Lord;

May we receive them with thanksgiving,

Ever trusting in Thy word.

To Thee alone be honour, glory,

Now and henceforth for evermore.

So mote it be

God save our gracious Queen!

Long live our noble Queen!

God save the Queen!

Send her victorious,

Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us,

God save the Queen

This world is so hard and so stony;

That if a man is to get through,

He'd need have the courage of Nelson,

And plenty of Job's patience too.

But a man who is kind to another

And cheerfully helps him along,

God Bless such a man and a brother,

And here's to his health in a song.

And here's to his health, here's to his health

And here`s to his health in a song.

All sing Chorus:

And here's to his health, here's to his health

And here's to his health in a song.

This life is as cheerless as Winter,

To those who are cold in the heart;

but a man who is warm in his nature,

Bids Winter for ever depart

The ground that he treads on will blossom,

`Till beauty around him shall throng;

God Bless such a man and a brother,

And here's to his health in a song.

And here's to his health; here's to his health

And here's to his health in a song.

All sing Chorus

As clouds that in sunshine are open,

And silvered by light passing through;

So men who are generous in spirit,

Are blessed by the good deeds they do;

There's nothing like helping another

For getting one's own self along;

Who does this is truly a brother.

And here`s to his health in a song.

And here's to his health; here's to his health

And here`s to his health in a song.

All standing sing chorus
