Where-e'er our wand'-ring sons may roam, Bri - tan - nia guards the o - cean And, safe, a - broad they all may fare, When - e'er they take the no - tion: For this let's thank our jol - ly tars Whose cour - age nev - er fails, And best of all who sail the blue Is gal-lant George of Wales. {Sheet music ends here} CHORUS: Welcome, O son of the King ! List to the song that we sing. Hail, gallant son of the ocean ! List to the song that we sing ! Glory and power attend thee, Thrice noble son of the King. Joyfully now we acclaim thee, Loud let the welkin ring ! Proudly and gladly we greet thee, Welcome, O son of the King ! 2 The men who sail the briny deep, Maintaing Britain's glory, Have rais'd the flag in ev'ry clime- Full well we know the story: They count no cost, but straightway go Wherever duty hails, And the noblest Prince who sails the seas Is gallant George of Wales. 3 The soldier bold in every land Is honored by his nation ; In war he nobly plays his part, Whatever be his station ; But on the deas we have no peers, And not a nation fails To envy us such a sailor men As gallant George of Wales. Sheet music copies of the above song may be obtained by remitting 40 cents to Messrs, Gourlay, Winter & Leeming. 189 Yonge Street, Toronto. </div> UG Transcription Progress Scripto transcription progress Done transcribed https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/525651995573a1b3ba4a709da48042eb.pdf cf663ccaaca7afd80cb7244c640ea0f3 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/358555383546bd1829a416769fb9aa47.pdf 8bc325ed46742fc187bbf1f0d889af5a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
